I switched from using Netscape 7.02 to Mozilla 1.4Beta recently, and all my
emails can get downloaded except for my netscape account.    The error I get is
"Failed to connect to server imap.mail.netcenter.com".  If I go to
my.netscape.com, I can get the mail, but not via the mail & newsgroups route. 
Under Netscape 7.02 I never had that problem.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to Mail & Newsgroups, under the Window icon in Mozilla
2.Click on Netscape Webmail alanstolpen17
3.Get the error message "Failed to connect to server imap.mail.netcenter.com"

Actual Results:  
Get the error message "Failed to connect to server imap.mail.netcenter.com"


Expected Results:  
downloaded my email.

Note that I have no problem with Mozilla downloading my other email accounts:
[e-mail]  and [e-mail]

AOL Mail and Netscape WebMail Accounts

Mozilla does not integrate with AOL Mail and Netscape WebMail, as Netscape 6/7
do. If you share your Netscape 6/7 profile with Mozilla, you may be able to see
headers for messages in the account's Inbox if you have previously checked one
of these accounts in Netscape 6/7, but you will be unable to interact with the
messages. To access your AOL Mail, WebMail, or Netscape Instant Messenger, you
need to use Netscape 6/7.
