Advantages: Fair results that have been checked by human editors. Disadvantages: Its just rebranded results from the non-profit Open Directory Project.
Netscape provide a simple search directory as part of their portal services. However, the directory is really just the Open Directory Project database, from http://dmoz.org. This is not surprising since Netscape bought up the Open Directory Project for just this purpose.
The Open Directory Project uses unpaid volunteers, thousands of them, to find and review websites. In turn, the Open Directory is a non-profit organisation, having no advertising ... ...portal services, just search results.
Of course, some question the ethics of Netscape, which is definitely not a non-profit organisation, using unpaid labour to generate page impressions for their own adverts when they run the same directory through their own branding and domain.
That's enough background though, lets look at the strengths and weaknesses of this as a source of relevant search results. Well, firstly it is a directory. That means ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: No POP access, no forwarding. Free spam.
This webmail is a waste of space. It has a generous (by today's standards) 5MB of online storage space. There is no POP facility, so Outlook (Express) and so on can't collect your mail. The email program that comes with Netscape 6 will though.
You cannot import your address book, you can't forward your email elsewhere or set up an auto reply. Worst of all, you can't seem to be able to cancel the account.
It's also a spam magnet - just as bad as ...

Advantages: Among the leaders in the industry Disadvantages: Pop up advertising in email
I seldom use Netscape's homepage. The page is too long, I have to scroll down the screen to get a general idea of what I am looking for. It would be better if everything were on the screen so I could get straight to where I wanted to go. The email feature is a bit difficult. The frame on top makes reading your mail bit of a
chore since you can't get an overall view. You have to click on the new mail to get you mail. When you log out you have to ...

Advantages: usefull info Disadvantages: too few links
Although they have outdone themselves in making n excellent browser, i have to say that their approach to a search engine was poor. When you search for something the nswers that you get are usually completely relivent and very usefull in finding out what you want. However, the amount of results that you get makes you feel like you are searching a hard drive rather than that of the internet. Yet agin i find that they allow many of the same page to ...
