Sync newsgroups

Has anyone had any luck trying to sync newsgroups from outlook. Bi-directional would be great, but I'd settle for just being able to download the post to my PDA. Just thought one of you may have run across this before.

Thanks.

I don't know of anything that will sync news from Outlook, but that doesn't mean something doesn't exist.

I use Yanoff to connect directly to my ISP and download/upload articles.

There are PC sync options which include News Rover and Palmreader. I think both of those options use their own usenet PC client, and not Outlook.

I also use Yanoff and I have to say it is a great program. There is a conduit available, but it doesn't sync to Outlook Express -- it goes directly out to the internet to fetch the articles. If your newsreader (such as Agent), uses a .newsrc file, then it can mark articles read on your PC that you have read on the PDA.
