Netscape 4.7x works fine, generally. And if it works for you, that's great.
However some bad points (off the top of my head):
- It makes aggressive use of local caching (../ImapMail/hostname/*) which is
not necessary when using IMAP.
- It doesn't allow multiple accounts on the same IMAP server (although this
can be worked around).
- Only one of the delete models actually work properly AFAIK.
- It does not check multiple mailboxes for new mail.
- Still contains a lot of baggage from being a POP3/Local only MUA.
- Limited authentication support (just plaintext IIRC)
Again, this is off the top of my head. There are other missing features/bugs I
could comment on, however that would be venturing into the "ideal IMAP MUA"
rant :o)

I tried it a bit, it's certainly an improvement over 4.7x, but I'm not happy
with Netscape 6 in general enough to warrant using it.
