I'm using Thunderbird and couldn't get aioe to work, it kept asking
for username and password.


I've just switched without any problem. Created a new newsgroup account,
specified nntp.aioe.org as the server and clicked SSL/TLS which also set
the port to 563 for me. Then all I needed do was set up my
subscriptions, export my ES killfile rules to a file and re-import them
back into the aioe account.


Thanks, in the end I created a new account in TB and it all works fine.
Great backup for when ES goes down again.
