YES! YES! YES! YES!

:rock on dude!:

Finally! Another newsreader other than Inkspot... Inkspot hasn't been updated in 3years and is limps more and more with each new Pocket PC update.

I hope this guy can improve upon this program and give Inkspot and Ruksun some competition.

The help is in russian, and according to what I could understand once you reply to the group the message should be sent to your Outbox in your PPC. So it seens to me that it use the inbox to send emails.

yeap but it does not resolve the Reply problem.

Another point is that when you select the option to save the files in Storage Card, it only save them if you have a storage device named Storage Card. If your device is named CF Card or SD card or what ever it does not work unless you hack the registry. ;)
