Integrated Newsreader and Email

 Binary Newsgroups · Agent was the first major newsreader to join multi-part binaries and support yEnc encoding. Today, Agent remains on the leading edge of binary Usenet with features such as NZB.

 Text Newsgroups · Agent's rich set of commands for search, navigation, and filtering continue to set the standard for text newsgroups.

 Internet Email · Agent allows you to seamlessly send and receive email via multiple POP accounts and SMTP servers without being exploited by viruses or trojans.

 Adaptive Junk Filtering · Agent combines advanced Bayesian statistics with identity management to remove junk messages without losing messages from your trusted contacts.

Multiple News Servers and Email Accounts

Multiple News Servers · Configure Agent to interact with all your favorite Usenet and private news servers. Get headers from one Usenet server and bodies from another. If a server becomes unavailable Agent will switch body downloads to another of your servers, then will switch back when the original server becomes available again.

Virtual News Servers · Tired of news servers with missing groups and missing messages? Let Agent automatically combine the content from multiple servers to fill in the missing parts.

Multiple Email Accounts · Collect email from multiple POP accounts and send via multiple SMTP servers. Laptop users will appreciate Agent's mobility features.

Optimized for Binary Attachments

NZB Support · Agent automatically processes NZB files to streamline the process of downloading large binaries.

Image Preview · Agent lets you quickly preview Usenet and Email images. You can view images in the message body or open a separate Preview Window. Image preview is ideal for sampling newsgroups.

Saving Attachments · Agent gives you complete control over how and where to save attachments. Store GIF and JPG files in the newsgroup. Automatically detach RAR and PAR files. Agent can even create a unique attachment folder for each newsgroup.

Folder Schemes · Agent is easy to configure because News and Email folders are based on schemes. Agent is pre-configured with schemes for Binary and Text groups. Create your own schemes for MP3s, Pictures, or DVDs.

Identity Management

Route by Identity (RBI) · Don't write filters to route email messages. Teach Agent to route and file automatically by dragging messages to folders that are enabled for Route by Identity.

Multiple Personas · Personalize your identity on the Internet by creating personas for email and news. Customize each persona by changing the email address, signature, and other message fields.

Persona Protection · Agent automatically memorizes the way you use personas. As you enter contacts on a new email, Agent's will advise you of any conflicts.

Robust Downloading

Usenet Automation · Agent makes it simple to mark groups and messages for download. Customize the way Agent prioritizes and downloads headers and bodies. Tasks will run in parallel to fully utilize servers and connections.

Safe HTML Downloads · Agent renders HTML messages on your terms. Agent will only downloads images from the contacts you trust.

Maximize Connections · Agent automatically detects and utilizes the maximum number of connections available on your news server.
