I also started using Mozilla Thunderbird recently, and it seems *very* 
convenient.
Furthermore, I configured it to look as OE (which I couldn't with other 
4-5 newsreaders I tried last week) while it is much more useful and 
reliable (and it doesn't have unread-message-count bug which I was 
unable to defeat with OE several days ago).

So, consider using Mozilla Thunderbird as a better replacement for OE.
(I used OE (mail & newsgroups) for 3 years and not used it last 2 years 
because of switching to The Bat due to big security problems in OE)
