Free Agent's okay for newsgroups (still haven't found a windows newsreader I actually like greatly, but it'll do). Pegasus is very nice for email, though, and free.

Its slightly restricted being the free version. Its a full featured newsgroup package and you can send emails from it but not receive. Of course cough up for the full package and you'll get that too plus killfile options. I know your probably thinking 'can't receive emails, what a pile of rubbish' but check it out anyway if you deal with newsgroups you won't regret it.

Netscape Navigator and Acorn E-mail. Both Lack features that Im using in Outlook Express. Ditched Navigator via the control panel. Guess what... Outlook wouldn't start. Curses.!! Re-installed Outlook Express so all is well. Acorn E-mail is OK for what it is but Outlook is better. It would be I suppose. Acorn comes as a zip file of 1.44 Mb, Bob Wilkinson

I used settings like: Mail Server: server.company.com User Name: domain/fml/FirstL (where f, m & l mean first, middle and last initials) I had a little trouble finding the user name. When I looked up the setting in Outlook mail, it said "First Last" (with a space between), but when I used that in Netscape: User Name: domain/fml/First Last it didn't like it. I discovered that if I typed "FirstL" into the Outlook mail settings, it expanded it to "First Last", and also "FirstL" worked in Netscape. I assume that "FirstL" is the actual username, and "First Last" is a description. This might require a bit of experimentation. This worked fine for a while, but then the administrator changed something on the server. Now I have to enter a username and password to send mail. Also I have recently discovered that attachments do not seem to work. I would be interested to hear how you do with this. -- James Gasson

Well, *any* ISP that can use Outlook Express will be able to use *any* other email program The only reason you've probably got Outlook Express is that thats what they give you If you want help setting anything up lemme know & I'll lend a hand..

I hate Outlook Express
Does anyone know of a better interface than Outlook Express and if so how do I interface it to my current ISP. Or does anyone know of a free ISP that uses something different from Outlook Express. Microsoft rules the World! But not my machine if I can help it. Bob Wilkinson.
