Three points:

1. In my view Outlook 2003 is *much* better than Windows Live Mail.

2. You need a newsreader to get newsgroups. No version of Outlook is a
newsreader. You can use Outlook for e-mail and get any of several
other programs to use as a newsreader (as I do, although I use Outlook
2010, not 2003). I use and like Agent 6.0 as my newsreader, but there
are several other downloadable choices you might prefer, some free and
some shareware.

3. If you have a newsreader, what news server you use is irrelevant.
Any newsreader can use Eternal September or any of the many other news
servers out there. In fact, most newsreaders can use multiple news
servers without a problem. I have mine set to use five news servers,
including Eternal September.
