I think zencycle is probably right that you can't use Outlook
for newsgroups.  I do use it for pretty much all my e-mail,
though I still use PINE on some of my shell accounts as
convenient.

 I need the paid version of Outlook because I use a POP/3
 setting. This allows me to check email on all my devices but
 they remain as shown unread on the any device I have not check
 my email on. I like that setting because I look at email on my
 iphone but then I like to check it again on the laptop.
 Thunderbird does work fine really for email I just think
 outlook would be more user friendly. It is not slow but seems
 when retrieving mail to at times not be super fast about it. I
 don't want to pay the $70. because really although not

 up if you keep that mentality.

Do you really need POP?  I'd suggest considering IMAP, you can
still access e-mail from multiple client platforms and leave it on
the server as you wish.  I've done this with Outlook for many
years now.  FWIW, I access about half a dozen different e-mail
accounts with Outlook on my laptop, and can also run the Outlook
app on my ANdroid phone.   Works quite well.
