    Outlook, WLM & Forte Agent

    How would you compare and contrast the capabilities and limitations of
    Outlook and Forte Agent?

    Is Microsoft trying to compete with Forte Agent at all -- if so, with what
    product?

    NNTP features can be added to Outlook.

    Mr.D. Spencer Hines (crossposting maniac)

    Please get a life and stop your moronic Trolling. In other words get lost . Most do
    not know the game you are playing and what will be the end result after when you
    will decide to shift gears to a higher speed

    Unfortunately I and many others had the pleasure to find out a few years ago.

    Now that you took a sabbatical from these MS newsgroups for the last few years you
    are back and starting the same thing and the same way as you did before.

    So before you decide to continue please get lost

    Forte Agent is a newsreader & pop mail client, as I understand it, Outlook
    has no news reader capabilities
    The two are not directly comparable.

    Re: Outlook, WLM & Forte Agent

    Can forte Agent do calendars and tasks? If not, it is no competition for
    outlook and this post does not belong in the outlook group.

    He is more than quite aware of that. He is playing and trolling. That is his game
    until he switches to another speed. Which will come soon
