You need the mozilla-mail package installed. Do you have it?
rpm -q mozilla-mail
If that returns nothing, try getting and installing the RPM manually:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/x86_64/mozilla-mail-1.7.2-0.2.0.x86_64.rpm
(or a local mirror may be faster).

Hello Paul:
Thank you very much for your reply. When I try the command you give above, I get the following output:
[pts/4][23][16:46:24]localhost% rpm -q mozilla-mail mozilla-mail-1.7.2-0.2.0
This seems to indicate that the system thinks this package is present. I also see these files are present (I'm not sure what to conclude from this, though):
/var/spool/up2date/mozilla-mail-1.7.2-0.2.0.i386.hdr /var/spool/up2date/mozilla-mail-1.7.2-0.2.0.x86_64.hdr
Is it likely, or even possible, that when I ran the update facility, it tried to install this package but the installation failed in some way? There is no messenger.jar in /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.7.2/chrome/, although the directory /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.7.2/components/ does appear to contain files related to mail (guessing from their names).
Now, I did manage to build a complete Mozilla, including mail, from the source distribution (downloaded from mozilla.org). It seems to work okay (I'm using it now to write this), except that the system (desktop) does not appear know about it.
Thanks,
James
