FEATURES OVERVIEW  

Companies are finding that their workforce is becoming increasingly mobile.  At the same time, email has become a mission-critical service, so companies face the challenge of giving their employees access to email from any location.  Whether on the road, at a kiosk in an airport, or using a different computer, employees need to be able to access their email. 

Netscape Messenger Express solves this problem by using a browser to access email via the web. Messenger Express is available through the most popular browsers, such as Netscape Communicator and Netscape Navigator, and provides users access to their email on Netscape Messaging Server, using Internet standards: Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP) for messaging, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for web access, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for security.
