:Is it possible to use Netscape Navigator V2.02 as an

   One can use the DIGITAL TCP/IP Services POP3 server on OpenVMS, and
   access mail via this protocol.
1669.2V3 is availableSTAR::BLAKEOpenVMS EngineeringSat Mar 15 1997 19:466
    Note also that V3.0b5 of the Navigator is available for downline
    loading from the OpenVMS web site:

    I think V3 fixed some problems with the mail client.
