Sort of. Netscape Communicator critically never included server infrastructure and was completely focused on e.g. connecting to your ISP's email servers.

Although a great 'client' experience is absolutely crucial for Firefox Premium's success and would be a modern resurrection of Netscape Communicator in that sense, what I mostly need is convenient 'servers' from a company that I can trust and a business model I can support. In a sense that would be a modern way of meeting the needs of Netscape Communicator, sure :)

Agreed, in this day and age we mostly don't have or use the ISP services that come with our connections.

Would you then use a Mozilla run mail service similar to gmail complete with calendaring and document storage, all built into a suite of client apps ?

I think for a certain demographic this could turn into a good Google competitor if done right.
