In XP I use Outlook Express but no Outlook Express in Vista. What Newsgroup
Readers are you using in Vista?

Outlook (the REAL one) still 'supports' Hotmail, I believe. As long as you
have the paid Hotmail subscription.

windows live mail desktop beta. Although it is still in buggy beta stage.
Also does pop email, rss and newsgroups.

HotPop is what I use.
works as proxy server to read hotmail in WM.

Agent is great for downloading binaries, but is brain-dead when it comes to
everyday reading/replying. Agent's 1980s "offline" style of operation
drives me crazy.

Windows Mail *is* Outlook Express with a few new features - like the ability
to FINALLY TURN OFF TOP POSTING!!!

I knew about this (I know I should've mentioned this) but I wasn't very
enthused by the ads. Plus- It's is bad beta- Way too many bugs to be relied
on.
 
Will check this out. Thanks.

Forgot about Outlook! I have preferred OE over Outlook for it's simplicity,
mostly, but I guess I'll seriously consider Outlook now. They shouldn't
have removed Hotmail support from OE. That was one of the most important
reasons for me sticking with Hotmail.

BTW, I am not a paying customer (and do not intend becoming one either) and
I've not had any problems using OE with Hotmail.

I don't like the layout much, you cannot see your emails when in newsgroup
view.

Hotmail is fine. I don't understand why Microsoft is considering
phasing it out.
 
They want you to see the ads in Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta I guess. (OE
and Windows Mail in Vista are ad free)
