Advice on newsreader add-in for Outlook

J

Jan Kuipers

What is the best add-in to read newsgroups in Outlook?
Office 2007 breached the spell-check in Outlook Express and left only
French and Dutch. In the Dutch version of Windows Live Mail there is no
Dutch spell-check. So I'd like to use the full spell-check abilities in
Outlook.

I've found NewsLook, NewsHound and NNTP for Outlook (MapiLab).

Has anybody experiences with these programs?

Breaking the ability of Outlook Express to steal someone else's spelling
checker does NOT bar Outlook Express from doing newsgroups. So you are
looking for a plug-in to Outlook as a replacement to Outlook Express
only because you can no longer spellcheck your newsgroup posts? So why
not go get a 3rd party spell checker (free) to fix Outlook Express' want
to steal someone else's because it NEVER had one?

If you are having problems with Outlook Express, best group to ask is
one that discusses Outlook EXPRESS.

No, it doesn't. But I miss the possibilities of Office 2007 spell-check
in Outlook Express

Yes I am. And I want all the languages that I already have in Office
2007

I already had this one in Outlook Express, but then I miss the
UK-English. Of course there are other programs like ABC-spellchecker.
But I want to use the Office 2007 spellchecker 'cause that's what I
have.

I've already abandoned Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail. I
purchased NewsHound for Outlook and I'm glad with it, I must say. Now I
can read the newsgroups in Outlook AND I can use the Dutch, French,
English and German spell check.

That was quick. Yesterday you were asking which plug-in to use and
today you already have one installed.

Yes, I had some time free and the dollar is low now in comparison to the
euro. So I downloaded it and tried it out.
It's very pleasant to write this in Outlook and I wonder why Microsoft
did not come with such an add-in.
