CommunityMate is fundamentally new solution for communities reading.

Using this product, you will always be in-touch with favorite communities without constant manual checking them.

It periodically polls your communities and notifies you once any new posts are detected.

The program lets you subscribe groups you're interested in, and will track new posts only in those groups.

Also you can specify various conditions, such that CommunityMate will notify you if any posts are detected in any topics, your topics, or in any specified by you.

It works with Usenet communities (newsgroups) as well as HTML-based forums.

When working with HTML forums this program even saves your traffic because it skips front pages and doesn't download all kind of graphics (ads, avatars and so on).

CommunityMate provides such features as Custom schedule for each community, ability to view communities when offline, wide range of generic communities features (posting, posting with quotes, replying by email etc.), possibility to poll only selected topics or topics made by you, supports various charsets, ability to download only certain number of lines from Usenet posts, works through HTTP proxy.

Also it lets you create your own black lists to ignore posts from unwanted senders.
