Just make sure you don't let much more than 100 messages hang around in the
Inbox for any length of time. Create other folders of your own (not
subfolders of Inbox), and store old messages there. Otherwise, things can
get interesting, according to MS people who've heard lots of horror stories.

I upgraded to Agent 4.0 yesterday and it blew everything up - wiped
all the messages and threads. I had to scramble to find the Agent 3
file to restore some functionality to Usenet functions.

Not only that, but it wiped all the threads out and I can't find where
I was in the discussion cycle with John and others.

You heard tell of such a thing?

I know this is considered heresy, but I have no such problems with
Outlook Express. My internet provider's news server has issues, but
another matter.


I agree with you. I've tried Thunderbird and an earlier version of Agent
just to see what all the fuss was about.
I always come back to Outlook Express. It works fine, it's reliable and
has never caused me any problems in all the years I've used it and it's
various versions.
