[Leigh]

What is the name or url for the MS news server that can be used with Outlook
Express?


I now use news-server.san.rr.com

I would also like to connect to the MS news server.

Thanks in advance for your help and information.

Try:

msnews.microsoft.com
or
news.microsoft.com

They can be used with any newsreader (and no authentication is required).

The following info was cribbed shamelessly from a post by Malke Routh:
