Hi,

I use 'alternative' software as many as i can. I mean i don't want to use MS product anymore, especially for internet stuff. So i don't use outlook, msnmessenger or any. I use kemeleon, eudore and PSI-Jabber (for IM). Now i'm looking for a safe & free (open sourced or not) newsreader.
Do you know any? Do you know other freesoftware i'm may need/use?

X-News from

<a href="http://xnews.3dnews.net/">http://xnews.3dnews.net/</a>;

(supports multiple news servers; can be integrated with K-Meleon, too)

How about the Forte Free Agent.

Forté Free Agent is more popular indeed but it does not support multiple servers at a time, and it cannot be integrated with web browsers. It's a good one but IMHO X-News is better.

For news I still use ... *gasp* ... trusty old Netscape 4.08. I use it esclusively for news only. I'ts fast, it's free and it has no-nonsense newsreader. I stick with 4.08 because that was the last version which didn't have news servers and newsgroups list in the same window with message list and messages itself. I hate the way later Netscapes and now Mozilla use one huuuuge window for both the list and message display. They just don't fit comfortably all in there. I know folks who still use Netscape 3 news. It's lightning fast by todays standards and gets the job done on most cases

thx all... Xnews looks good for me...
any idea for Free eudora remplacement (with all the features Eudora has)?

I use Pegasus mail (http://www.pmail.com)

Free Agent DOES support multiple servers at a time. By default, it runs in the working directory called \Agent\Data, right ?
So, create a empty \Agent\NewData, and, in the Agent's desktop (or Start Menu) shorcut properties , fill the Working directorie field with ...\Agent\NewData.
And you can launch the two sessions at the same time ! :-)
