You don't say what version of Netscap you are using, there was not problem deleting e-mails in Netscape 4.75 and prior. If you are using 6+ you will run into a lot of trouble. My advice is use Outlook Express or anything else, uninstall Netscape because is full of bugs and AOL-Netscape doesn't release any fix, you may ask Netscape for support via web and if you are lucky someone in Montain View will tell you how to fix whatever problem you run into, after charging $75 to your credit card.

Are you experiencing problems with your mailbox at the ISP being too full? If so, open p netscape mail, click on edit, click on preferences, on the left pane, click on mail servers, click on the tab marked "POP" and remove the checkmark where it says "keep mail on server". That should clear out all your mail held on the server. Also, go into your mail trash and delete all the mail in there.
Good luck!

Just to be sure that I have this straight;
You are having trouble with your Netscape web based e-mail account using Netscape web browser.

I would start by clearing out your cache folder.
For 4.X, it should be under program files\netscape\users\xyz\cache (xyz = your user name)
For 6.x, it is under Windows\application data\mozilla\***\cache (*** = a code for your user profile)

Another thing to check is the settings of the Netscape Mail and Newsgroup program as it will tie itself into your netscape web mail account.

I would suggest that you consider the k-meleon web browser. www.kmeleon.sourceforge.net
It operates very similar to Netscape 4.X with the 6.X updates. It loads my Netscape mail around 40% faster than Netscape 6.1
You will need to download and install Java from Sun. As the password dialog for netscape mail is a Java applet.

Perhaps the best feature of K-Meleon is the built in pop-up window stopper.

The only negative that I have seen is that it can only import 512 IE favorites.
