Title: E-mail and news client thanking you please.
Post by: JB on October 18, 2003, 11:40:29 AM
Anyone have a combined e-mail/news client that supports the following.

1- miltiple pop3 accounts.
2- Hotmail e-mail account.
3- Multiple news servers.
4- Built in yENC support for newsgroups. (cant be without the alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.bestiality.hamster.duct-tape group.)

Free would be nice, but it's not essential.  Just after somethin to replace Outlook/Outlook express.

I'm not sure what you wants exists as one application  :(

I was under the impression that Microsoft have decided that only Outlook/Express can connect to Hotail and collect mail. So that's nice of them eh !

There is a third party application that will convert downloaded yenc attchments to images etc. It's a bit long winded to work this way though (not being able to see the image within Outlook) but you can find it HERE (http://www.yenc.org/windows.htm)

Yenc enabled newsreaders don't do e-mail as far as I am aware so you'll have to use one application for mail and one for news.

A list of Yenc enabled readers can be found HERE (http://www.yenc.org/windows.htm)

Can Mozilla mail download Hotmail e-mail and decode Yenc?

Dunno.  :D Check the latest version. I just know that a friend of mine uses it and is very happy with it.  :)

Mail and news don't mix.  End of.

Gravity for news.  Mozilla or Eudora for mail.  OE for cleaning up dog poo.

I'm suprised OE can even do that. I find it refuses to accept most kinds of dog poo, and the little it will pick up has a tendancy to escape and get all over your hands.

Mozilla now do a very natty standalone little e-mail program called Thunderbird.

Yes indeed they do and I use this. It learns about junkmail and is highly configurable to use multiple accounts etc. Not tried reading newsgroups with it so don't know what its like for that.
