200+ messages and 200+ NEW messages are very different. netscape by
default wont download
read mail.

possible it has something to do with the mail server and how it gives
out mail. i have never used any of the free web based emailers(or free
emailers in general) but my experience with netscape on almost countless
accounts on "real" servers i have never experienced this.
