Er, import export operations perhaps? Sounds tedious but two dedicated
specialized apps work far better than one happy combo. This is a rule that
doesn't seem to be breakable. Some feel that TB! may be the first. I don't
think so. Hey Steve, I decided to give X-News a 'longer length of rope'
and it was worth it. :)
The rewards of two separate apps will outweigh the hassle of moving
keeping similar mail and news together through regular import/export
operations. TB! imports Agent messages with ease. :) Yes, I used the Agent
combo for sometime myself but realized that Agent failed quite
substantially on the e-mail side. It also fails quite markedly on the news
side as well with it's inability to support multiple servers without
having to run multiple instances ..... enter X-News. :)
