Do you have a POP3 Server running at the host you want to get mail from?
Check with "telnet debian.greenville.edu pop-3".
It is not completely clear to me, if the host you run Netscape on is
debian.greenville.edu itself. If this is the case, you can also use the
movemail thing.

Should be color icons. What colordepth do you use in X? If it is 8bpp, you
should start netscape with the -install option (install privat colormap).

If you used the debian netscape installer, the menuentries should work
ok. Try it instead to ns-install script from the tarball.
