Usenet support groups for mail

Hi,

As I heard it is a policy and some of us hates web forums, here is a 
search for "mail" on usenet groups.

http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=0,16823695&q=mail+comp&prev=mail+comp

Interesting ones are:
news:comp.mail.imap
news:comp.mail.eudora.ms-windows
news:comp.mail.eudora.mac
news://msnews.microsoft.com (a local NNTP server used for all ms 
products, like this one)
news://news.mozilla.org (again a local NNTP server used for all Mozilla 
products)

Of course, if it is a IMAP server down, up issue they can not help.
