Features
NewsHound is an Outlook add-in and MAPI service provider that adds full newsgroup (NNTP) support into Outlook. Some of the features NewsHound provides are:
  • Full support for downloading headers. You may choose to download headers, mark them manually and then have NewsHound retrieve the full articles. Or, you can have NewsHound download the full article automatically, "on-the-fly", whenever you view a header*. Headers mode is configurable on an individual newsgroup basis, so you can download headers in some groups, and full articles in others.

    For those of you who may have tried one of the other NNTP add-ins, please note that NewsHound does not place all newsgroup headers in the Inbox. Headers go in their respective newsgroup folders, just like you would expect them to.
     
  • Multi-threaded article retrieval - If you have multiple newsgroup servers set up, NewsHound will create multiple connections and download articles (or headers) from each server simultaneously, resulting in faster retrieval times if you subscribe to newsgroups on two or more servers
  • Article retrieval speed has been significantly improved over the 1.x versions, particularly in newsgroup folders that contain a large number of articles
  • Secure, encrypted connections to newsgroup servers, using the SSL 3.0, SSL 2.0 or TLS 1.0 protocols
  • Newsgroup articles can be colorized, to make them easier to read (similar to Google's Groups Search). Click here for screen shots...
  • Newsgroup articles can be stored in personal folders files (.pst) or in your Exchange mailbox folders
  • Newsgroup articles can be grouped, sorted, organized, searched, archived, forwarded and can be included in Outlook 2003's search folders
  • Newsgroup articles can be copied or linked to contact, task, journal and note items
  • Newsgroup articles can be attached to outgoing emails
  • Fully integrated into Outlook's address book
  • All attachment types are supported
  • Handles all popular encoding formats (utf-7/8, uuencode, MIME multipart)
  • Full Unicode international language support (when used with Outlook 2003)
  • Supports Outlook/MAPI profiles - set up multiple configurations for home, office, travel, etc.
  • Completely self-contained, does not require CDO or Microsoft.NET
  • Written in C++ for speed, compact size and minimum memory usage
  • Peacefully co-exists with other Outlook add-ins and ActiveSync
