Have you considered *uninstalling* mozilla, if it annoys you so?
Uninstall mozilla, install Netscape. 

What do you mean by mozilla "won't allow [you] to access netscape the e-mail 
account"? I would find it highly annoying that I could access my mail account 
via only *one* program. E-mail should be e-mail and be retrievable by any 
e-mail client. Netscpae/AOL, however, feels differently.

Mozilla, FWIW, is *better* at blocking pop-up adds than Netscape. And many 
users of Mozilla are just as frustrated by Netscape/AOL crippling Mozilla and 
calling it Netscape 7. Take a look at Phoenix, 
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/
It's a browser only project started by Mozilla developers who were frustrated 
by the direction of Mozilla developement.
