Hi lads,

What usenet client do you use, and what do you reckon the best usenet client
for a newbie is nowadays?

I just use Windows Live Mail 2012 simply because it still works XD (other
than the occasional glitch here and there on Win10). Anyone else on WLM?

Electronically yours,
Nar,

I have used XanaNews for years, never found anything as good:

Does it not get orphaned every major update? I am using Outlet express but
now its lost its ability to see its own passwords and no amount of hacking
will get it to find them. Luckily I have a list of them and can type them in
but its getting a little tiresome. Sadly Outlook no longer does it and Tbird
seems to be very hard to use for a blind person.

And the stupid overkill of google mails second factor authorisation. For the
average emailer none of that is of any use and it just makes it harder to
transfer between machines.
