I'm also having problems with Mozilla. I cannot be sure it's Mozilla,
but it seems Mozilla related. I have to turn of IDLE support in Mozilla
to make messages appear. Now you're thinking GAMIN/FAM! No, this is FC1
with FAM. Courier 0.48.2, RPMS build straight from tarball.

The messages are there, no question about it. Messages to the
troublesome account are delivered over NFS, other accounts seem not to
have this problem, but then, I''m the only Mozilla user.

I was going to investigate this further before mailing to the list, but
your question promted me to write down my experiences. I hope it's
useful to someone, or someone can give me a hint to what's happening.
