Greetings all,

I have been thinking about switching from Outlook Express to Outlook but I'm not sure if it will work out so well for me.

Questions:

Will Outlook work with newsgroups in the same manner that Outlook Express does?

If not, how do you guys work it? - I mean do you run *both* Outlook and Outlook Express or what?

Recommendations? Thoughts?
Anyone?

Thanks,
- Stan Shankman
 
Outlook uses a stub of OE for news groups - basically Outlook Express with
the /newsonly or /outnews switch enabled. It is seamless.

Milly,

Humm, that's interesting, but I'm a little lost. Could you explain that a little more to me? - Perhaps a link or something that will shed more light on it.

Thanks,

I run Outlook 2002 but for news I prefer X-News, a free Windows based
Newsreader that (IMO) is significantly superior to OE News.
