Hello Batters,
sorry if this is way OT but after sending this to the TBOT list I thought of
mailing to the big list as well, I guess mauch more users are on the TBUDL.
I have a question about the Free Agent which I hope I could get some help with -
from Batters using maybe Agent for newsreading. Thanks kindly in advance ;-)
I'm using TB for my mail but I can't seem to get the Free Agent going on my
system. As soon as I a click on a link to the news sites ( like
news://news.stardock.com/ ) in the Net Captor or IE5.5 the Lookout Express loads
and that's it. In the IE 5.5 settings the only apps in the list to chose from
under Programs / Discussion Group programs are Microsoft Outlook and Outlook
Express. The Free Agent is installed on my system but doesn't appear in this
list.
And then, am I right when I believe that the Free Agent can handle only one news
server at the time ? In the General preferences there is only one field for this
and if I usenews.worldonline.se which is my ISP, I only get access to
zillions of groups but I can't reach those I'm interested in following ( e.g.
news.stardock.com for my Object Desktop news ). So if I want to go to
news.stardock.com I have to change the news server and then collect. If I go
back to my ISP's groups, all Stardock groups are not accessable.
I've just done this, I've changed the news server back to worldonline ,
collected all the groups agaian, subscribed to some, got new headers, but
when I tried to acces some of the Stardock groups, I've got the message: An
online error occured - error repported by Server 411 No Such Group
Well, of course when I'm trying to reach the Stardock server through the
news.worldonline.se
Sad enough the Outlook Express handles this easily, I've just configured it for
different news servers without problems. OK, well use the Outlook Express, you
all might say, but hey, I don't like it so much, I'd like to use some other
software. Could you suggest any ?
Thanks very much for everybody's time .
