Have not used Mozilla since this incident.  Have upgraded to Netscape 7.0 with no problems.  Since i am not the sole user of this machine, cannot experiment as much as i'd like.

Ken Thompson, as you may be aware, the sidebar is no longer part of Mozilla.  If 
mail/news is started with the folder pane hidden, an initial folder is 
nonetheless selected.
I'm marking this bug Invalid, just because it no longer applies.
