Maybe try MDK's package? (--force).

This page seems to be quite out of date. I have no problem accessing
Netscape's web-mail with NS Mail (at least in Linux, I have never tried
it on Windows ;)). It is about the only use I have for NS mail ATM. 

(Hehe, I should subscribe my NS account to OCLUG .. spoil all those kill
files I'm in. *Doh* ROFL)
