   For email under Linux I am using Netscape 4.7 that came with
RedHat
6.0. If you really wish to retain the mail on the server, user IMAP
setting
in Netscape. That is under
   Edit-Preferences : Mail & Newsgroups -> Mail Servers
: Edit server
and select IMAP account. The IMAP server imapd has to run on the
server Linux workstation. For some reason it did not came with the
RedHat 6.0 but was present RedHat 5.1 as imap-4.1.BETA-11.src.rpm.

  There are some pop servers, which are not in latest redhat either.
I think, that POP3 server would be better. Try to search http://rpmfind.net .
