I'm using Outlook Express 6 to read news groups.
What does it mean when one of the news group title turns red in the
folders list? I've searched help for 'red' and 'folders' but nothing
popped up. Thanks, Don
It means you have threads in the newsgroup which have a "Watch" set on them.
The Newsgroup will turn red when there are new articles in one or more
threads.
To set a "Watch" on an article, click to the left of an article (in the
column with the spectacle icon) in a thread you want to keep track of. A
spectacle icon will appear where you clicked. To remove a "Watch", click in
the same place until the spectacles go away. With your first click, a
little circle with a slash through it will appear. When it does, click
again, and it will disappear. When there is no icon in that column, the
"Watch" will be removed.
