Can't get my Netscape mail account to receive mail into my Outlook 2002 client.

SMTP sending works fine. IMAP receiving is the problem. Here are the IMAP error messages:

Task 'Checking for new mail in subscribed folders on Netscape mail.' reported error (0x800CCC0E) : 'Could not fetch new headers in the folder (null) for Account Netscape mail. Error:Unable to connect to the server..'

Task 'Netscape mail: Folder:Inbox Check for new mail.' reported error (0x800CCC0E) : 'Could not fetch new headers in the folder Inbox for Account Netscape mail. Error:Unable to connect to the server..'

Anyone know of the way to fix the IMAP setting so I don't have to bother with the Netscape client anymore?

Sorry, this is a Netscape Mail designed in feature.

The ONLY mail program that can access a Netscape Mail account is Netscape.

Even the Mozilla mail client (Mozilla is the core code of Netscape) cannot access a Netscape Mail account.

Your only other option is to use web access.

Or, switch to a paid Yahoo account.
With the paid accounts, Yahoo will allow you to access their mail system using a mail client.
