OutLook Express Suck with my Dell 4700 Dimension Desk Top PC.

Note - I have set-up Outlook Express three times and
when I log-on the next time it does not work.

FREE ? -or- FEE ?

What News Reader Are You Using for Usenet ? and Why ?

i want to know ~ RHF

If you're trapped in Windows, then Agent is pretty good. The free thirty
day trial lets you get a good sense of what it's about.

It does emails too and is very modestly priced for what you get.

The OS is MS Window XP Home Edition with SP2 ~ RHF
.


That's my OS and I've used Agent for over ten years. Best reader I've
found. They used to have a FreeAgent version, no cost, and may still
have it. If you buy Agent, it's something like $20, with no further
payments unless you go to a major upgrade.

Agent is real configurable -- you can arrange the windows in just
about any fashion or layout. You can see all the headings and replies
laid out nicely in outline fashion. After you read one, it turns from
red to black.

Only problem is it won't block Domains. Some Domains are spam plauged.
