Swift, powerful, sophisticated.

You not only had one of the best email apps you also had one of the
best newsreaders too. *In fact Agent was designed primarily for news.
Use Agent for news and you will be better off.

Like I wrote, they don't have it any more. Just email.

Agent still works fine. What you must mean when you say "they" don't
have it, is that your ISP doesn't have its own news server. So you
need to enrol/subscribe to one of the others. There are free ones and
those that charge 3 or 4 dollars a month.

If you paid for your copy of Agent you can still use it paid mode.
If it wants a number, you can email them, give them as much info as
you can. Your name might be enough. You gave it to them in the first
place if you charged buying it, what your email address was at the
time (that might be enough), about when you paid, etc. and they'll
send you your pssword number.

I still use version 1.9. I find version 6 a little complicated

Version 6 doesn't have a free version, only a 30 day trial, but
version 1.9 is stilll around. Even if you buy ver 6, it's only 39
dollars.
