new provider and newsgroups

[Farad'n]

In looking around for another ISP, I've found one that I think that I might
sign up with. But they tell me that they do not provide access to Newsgroup
via Outlook Express.

Since I want to regularly access Newsgroups and don't want the inconvenience
of accessing Newsgroups through Google; is there a reasonably priced and
easy way for me to get to the Newsgroups using this new provider please. I
phoned up the technical line and they said to use RSS feeds, I did a search
on this but it doesn't seem to me to connect in any way with Newsgroups as
far as I can see. Thanks for any advice.

What news service you use has NOTHING to do with the OS. As such,
your post is out of place HERE.

Ask elsewhere

I found a service for 4.95 / 10 gig a month. Some had an interesting
concept of letting you roll over your quota from month to month. So if
you had 5 gig left over, you could use it next month. I kinda liked
that feature. I can go 3 months without downloads so I could do 30 gig
on month 4 say?


Some of these are limited but its a small list. And there are so many
and the prices vary so much, you check them out. It would be suggested
to test before a long commitment. As some lack groups, some have low
retention, some may miss parts of messages or whole messages. It just
runs the gauntlet.

BTW, (assuming Reply-To is genuine) enjoy your gmail account.

There is a simple rule when it comes to email, or Usenet for that matter -
don't type anything you would not be happy for the world to read.

With that in mind, I have no problem with Google mail, I pass all my mail
through a gmail account in order to take advantage of their excellent spam
filters.

It's genuine, but I only read mail there when notified.

I do the same. I used to run POPfile (which, after a period of training,
produces very good results) but Gmail is even better.
And yes, inbound only, as noted by Gary.

I don't send via them so you're right.

Why would you want spam filters on your outbound mail unless you're a
Polish spammer?

Well, I wouldn't, would I? Sorry for not being totally conclusive. All I
intended to convey with my last sentence was that I don't use Gmail for
sending mail. In case any ambiguity remains, I'll add that I send mail via
the smtp server provided by my ISP.
