I've watched a friend try to use his
Outlook as a news reader. What a mess.

A mess in what way???


Indeed. Probably too complex for John, even though it is the simplest of
newsreaders to use. I don't like it because it is too "Microsofty," but
it isn't messy, and it does allow for multiple accounts, which Agent
doesn't.

Not true - Agent does allow for multiple accounts - you just have to
open a seperate data file. It's actually as easy as OE to do.

What exactly do you mean by "open a separate data file"? My goal is to have
multiple accounts with messages from all of them downloading into the same
inbox, while I don't have to touch the keyboard. Possible or not?


Boils down to multiple installations and has been a work-around for
years. There is relief on the way....

I'll believe it when I see it. That was the #1 complaint about Agent
almost from the git-go and they have never complied with the request.

I don't know why, but that's the way of it.
