I use Outlook Express as well (v. 4.5), and have no problems. Are you • sure
that you have your account access set up correctly?
Outlook express works fine until you have quite a few NG's on
it. Then it crashes, and you lose all of the saved server
info, subscribed groups, etc. All of the messages are still
cached, but you cannot (AFAIAA) put the two back together
again.

This has not been my experience.  I've been using Outlook Express for many
years (since the first internal builds came out) and haven't had it lose any
state for me.  I use it for reading many newsgroups, and used to use it to
read against many news servers as well (although more recently I've started
using nntpcache to merge all of my servers into one caching server, and I
read from that).
