I didn't notice that because I always install frontpage 2003 (that's part of
office 2003)

Outlook Express has never had any spell check of its own, but TinySpell
does what you would want if you still used OE.

I would use Outlook express still... IF IT HAD inline spell checking
(you know underlying the text when you have a spelling error)

I have grown to like that in live mail desktop and thunderbird...

If outlook express had that I would use it when I am on XP, because it
launches very fast!

Interesting Thread.

I am by no means a heavy newsgroup user; I also have found OE to be
easy to use and (mostly) adequate for my purposes.

Due to that "mostly", I have invested some effort into exploring other
options and also use Thunderbird. Due to the fact that I first learned
newsgroups on OE I find some of the user interface uncomfortable ...
but I suspect that had I started with Thunderbird instead of OE it
would be more comfortable.

For me, the biggest roadblock to investigating an actual newsreader is
simply lack of available time.

Right now, I actually use Outlook, Thunderbird, and OE for different
purposes -- and have different newsgroups subscribed in OE and
Thunderbird.

If you haven't looked at Thunderbird it could well be worth your while
to check it out.

I agree.

Outlook Express 6 suits me just fine for both mail and newsgroups...

But it's being deliberately obsoleted...

And Microsoft seems incapable at present of replacing it with
software of the same calibre.

WLM just doesn't measure up -- and is riddled with bugs.

So, which newsreader do you use?

Personally, whatever the "die-hard" news addicts may tell you. I
find Outlook Express/Windows mail perfectly adequate for the task...

The only language available for OE is French with Office 2007. Numerous post
on WTF? This is what I give them.

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

Outlook Express cannot use the MS Word spell check in Office 2007.
Downloading a free spell check is the simplest way around this.

Vampirefo Spell Check.

From SnapFile:

TinySpell:

I *have* looked at Thunderbird and was impressed with the current
beta, 3.0.0.

But I too am used to and comfortable with the OE interface and love it
like an old shoe.

Right now, I actually use Outlook, Thunderbird, and OE for different
purposes -- and have different newsgroups subscribed in OE and

Why different newsgroups in different software?

Essentially because I didn't want to spend any more time dealing with
the issue. Someday i may look at it again; but who knows when I'll find
the time. In the process of evaluating i ended up with some newsgroups
in OE and some in Thunderbird; I just left it that way.

[I use OE only for newsgroups, not email.]

Thank you.

Makes Good Sense.

Separating business in Outlook from fun and hobbies in newsgroups may make
sense as well.

When the Mozilla Thunderbird 3 beta goes RTW I'll look at it again.

But in the beta I couldn't get it to connect to an MSN POP3 account.

Have you been able to do that?

I'm still using WLM and OE. But like OE much better.

Version 4 is actually version 12.0 when installed
- not sure, but I suspect the 4 means it was the 4th rtw version made available for download.

For Live ID accounts, 12.1 is the preferred because it enables features for free accounts that are only available in with a Premium
account when using V4(12). The download link for each version explains the differences.

I don't have MSN or Hotmail; I wasn't able to successfully POP3 to
yahoo -- since they offer POP3 as an available $$ option they may have
done something to break the workarounds that have been created over time
.... or possibly I never got the installation correct at my end. The
Gmail POP3 access works great.

No experience with WLM, but from what I read OE was much better.
