  When I access my mail via netscape messanger at work,
I have local folders which are stored in UNIX. I would 
like to use netscape messanger at work to read my local 
files at work. An ip address, username and password would 
need to be used. Require the sshd to be active?

Reproducible: Always

I don't think this is a valid bug report.

1) It's talking about Netscape Messenger
2) It seems to be asking a question?

Try #mozillazine on irc.mozilla.org to ask questions.

-> INVALID

  My posting was primilarily a enhancement request (I mislabeled
it as a bug). My question touched upon a possible implementation issue 
regarding the desired feature.

  The feature which I am requesting is not available on mozilla 
as it stands.

  Let me rephrase: I would like Mozilla to access local folders
on another machine with the same ease as accessing a mailbox
(say via imap) or accessing local folders on the machine 
running mozilla. It may not be an IMAP issue, but it is a mail issue.

You realize that you have to install a fileserver on the remote host (let's say
NFS or SMB), mount that fileserver on your local one, and then read the files
just as if it was a local file ? Or you can export your file-system with FTP,
and then read it in Mozilla. Both methods already work, you just have to make
sure that the data is exported, so you can access it.

This has nothing to do with Mozilla --> INVALID or WORKSFORME
