Help with setting up Forte Agent 1.93 needed...
 

I just purchased Forte Agent (version 1.93) after getting dissatisfied
with OE 6.0.
Since I don't have a real manual it's a bit bothersome to wade through
all the huge Help files.
Anyway, I have downloaded the big list of international newsgroups and
can read them. I can also send email which can be received at the
other end.
Furthermore, I can respond to messages and send new mail to the
newsgroups...
The only problem is that they never arrive!!!

There must be something wrong in my settings:

News NNTP Server: news.uncensored-news.com
Mail SMTP Server: mail.da2.so-net.ne.jp
Email: srindler@da2.so-net.ne.jp

The same problem occurs when trying to receive email although the POP
Server has been set to: pop.da2.so-net.ne.jp

A message pops up and says:
"You must use Options/Inbound Email dialog to configure your POP
account before you can perform this operation."
There is not much else to configure.

Is there a step-by-step instruction on the Internet (with screenshots)
that shows me how to set it up properly.
I'd also like to set up another account for a local newsgroup list of
a computer user group. How do I achieve this one? Sorry for having so
many questions, but Japan is virtually a dead place during the New
Year's holidays. Nobody to ask...

I am sending this message through the Yahoo Groups... the only way I
know when no newsreader works.

With kind regards and a Happy New Year (only 7 hours to go in Tokyo)

RTFM, use the search / index provided.

Online / View Error Log, see if there is any additional info.

Maybe, you could ask in the FA newsgroup.
alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent

Browse / Search posts from that group
http://groups.google.com/groups?grou...er.forte-agent

Until v2 is out, which will have multiple servers. You need to do either
(this is a quick run down, going out soon. Also see
http://jlbradley.home.att.net/ )

Install a second copy of Agent to a different directory, and configure
for the other server.

Or,
Copy the data directory structure / agent.ini to a new directory. Edit
the agent.ini for the new directory paths. Create a shortcut to the exe
(n the original location) and change the startup path properties to the
new location.

Again see the FA newsgroup, it's a common question and step by step
notes were/are in there usually.
