Answer/Solution: IMail - Netscape Configuration
Netscape 7 Mail will strip anything after the @ sign in
the User field. Use % instead of @ when you login to a Virtual
Domain:
jimbob%virtualdomain.com
IMail interprets the percentage (%) sign the same way as
the (@) sign, but Netscape Mail accepts it as part of the user name.

Netscape Communicator v.4.5x
This section describes how to configure Netscape Communicator to access your
POP e-mail box.
1.. From the Edit menu, select Preferences.
2.. Open the Mail & Newsgroups section and click Mail Servers.
a.. Outgoing Mail Server: "mail.yourdomain.com"

a.. Your Name: your name

All other settings are optional. Choosing Messenger Mailbox from the Communicator menu will open the part of Netscape that allows you to read and
send mail.
Unfortunately, Netscape Messenger does not natively support retrieval of
multiple e-mail accounts for POP3 mail servers. To retrieve mail from multiple accounts, you will need to setup additional user profiles using the
User Profile Manager supplied with Netscape. See your Netscape
documentation for more information.
