Is it me?

Am I the only person out here in the world using Tp5.0 and having no
problems?

Mine works, it's stable, and is quick and convenient.

I've just moved my Management (she who must be obeyed) to a named
account on NTLWorld for which she must use Outlook Express - and she
does nothing but moan and ask to go back on Tp as 'it was so easy and
straightforward to use.' (Yes I know she can use Tp as I have a licenced
copy, but that causes too much confusion with my Demon account.)

I don't think that's true.

I admit I haven't looked at the two links yet, but I did try it.

The problem is that, for my own purposes I read different newsgroups on
Demon and NTL. AFAICT Tp cannot differentiate between sources so will
pull newsgroup info from either one.  Also, when I tried, I could find
no way to make Tp steer my outgoing mail to the preferred mail host as I
use different aliases on each.

Now I'll go have a look!

I'm sorry that you believe that - it has never been true.

You configure the source of each newsgroup, and it will be collected 
from one and only one source.

This should not normally occur with TP6. You can allocate which news 
servers (and POP3 servers) are accessed when connecting to any ISP. You 
can, for example have the Demon server only active when logged in to 
Demon, the NTL one when logged in to NTL and cis.dfn.de available 
through all ISPs. Then there will be no error message because of a 
failed connection, TP won't attempt to make the connections which are 
certain to fail.
