Outlook 2003 and Newsgroups

[Rich Koup]

Hi,

I know that Outlook 2003 supports newsgroups in some form. You have to add
the "News" button in the standard toolbar and a new window opens that is
similar to outlook express where you can access newsgroups.

Now, I don't want this way of accessing newsgroups. I want to have a tab in
the Navigation Pane. Access should be very similar to the way I access my
email in Outlook 2003.

How can this be done?


Thanks

You can't. Outlook isn't a newsreader but it uses Outlook Express for this.

There are add-ins to enable NNTP support for Outlook like;

No. Outlook uses Outlook Express to provide newsgroup support. There are
some 3rd party programs that work with outlook:
