I don't have MSN or Hotmail; I wasn't able to successfully POP3 to yahoo --
since they offer POP3 as an available $$ option they may have done
something to break the workarounds that have been created over time ... or
possibly I never got the installation correct at my end. The Gmail POP3
access works great.

No experience with WLM, but from what I read OE was much better.

Thank you.

Makes Good Sense.

Separating business in Outlook from fun and hobbies in newsgroups may
make sense as well.

When the Mozilla Thunderbird 3 beta goes RTW I'll look at it again.

But in the beta I couldn't get it to connect to an MSN POP3 account.

Have you been able to do that?

I'm still using WLM and OE. But like OE much better.

I *have* looked at Thunderbird and was impressed with the current beta,
3.0.0.

But I too am used to and comfortable with the OE interface and love it
like an old shoe.

Right now, I actually use Outlook, Thunderbird, and OE for different
purposes -- and have different newsgroups subscribed in OE and
Thunderbird

Why different newsgroups in different software?

Essentially because I didn't want to spend any more time dealing with
the issue. Someday i may look at it again; but who knows when I'll find
the time. In the process of evaluating i ended up with some newsgroups
in OE and some in Thunderbird; I just left it that way.

[I use OE only for newsgroups, not email.]

I am presently using Newshound for Outlook and have experience with
Mapilabs NNTP for Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live
Mail, Thunderbird and other dedicated news clients. While using OE, WM,
WLM and Thunderbird make reading newsgroups pretty simple out of the box
there are some advantages to using Outl0ok with an add-in as your news
client.
With Newshound you have access to most Outlook features so you can use
Outlook Categories or flag specific newsgroup posts. You can also drag
them to tasks (i.e. a link you want to check out later) just like you do
with email. You can design your own customized views for reading messages
and you can also archive using Outlooks archiving features and rules to a
local pst file or for that matter have your newsgroups delivered to a
local pst file. With an Exchange based email account with a sufficient
mailbox size you can also store your newsgroups within Exchange thereby
making them accessible from multiple computers or through Outlook Web
Access on the web. This is a plus for me as I switch between multiple
computers and there was no other way to keep my read\unread messages in
sync between machines. Newshound will allow you to retrieve just message
headers or headers and bodies. It has colorized quoting which is nice.

It has taken some time for me to adjust to using Newshound for Outlook for
news reading and I am fairly familiar with Outlook so I am able to
customize Outlook in order to make it work like I want. If you're
relatively comfortable with Outlook, Newshound offers a 30 day free trial
so you can give it a try and see if it suits your needs. One of the first
things I did after installing it was create a new Newsgroup view that only
shows unread posts. The only view it includes is one that shows all
posts. Another behaviour that took some getting use to is that it moves
message threads with the most recent posting to the top of the thread
list.

Because I'm using an Exchange based email account and prefer not to have
to switch between separate email\PIM, newsgroup and RSS clients, while not
perfect, Newshound for Outlook is a good compromise for me.

It's a SNAFU.
