It works fine for me. I've seen >no reason to use it for email, even though I could if I chose to. Hm. I use Thunderbird for email because the built-in features cover what I need. For newsgroup (usenet) access on Windows I use a very old shareware programm called Agent, in combination with a local installation of a NNTP proxy (and cache) called leafnode, accessible only on my internal network at home. My netnews provider is News.Individual.NET, costing me 10 EUR per year. -- Thank you for observing all safety precautions
