Way to manually organize MS Communities in left pane?

[Paul]

I only use Windows Mail to handle my MS newsgroups (it does an excellent job
of this). I have now subscribed to 10 newsgroups, and am finding it harder
to find the few I usually go to, compared to the ones that I only go to once
or twice, whenever I have a rare question. Is there a way I can manually
change the order in which they appear (in the left pane--I see "Local
Folders" and "Microsoft Communities" as the two major sections)? It looks
like Windows Main arranges them in alphabetical order. Is there any way I
can drag-n-drop, or change them in any other way?

Sorry, I'm not aware of any option to rearrange the newsgroups.

Gary, thanks for replying. The next best thing woudl be for Windows Mail to
display all my messages, from all the newsgroups, in one big display
(instead of making me click on each newsgroup in turn). I have WM set to
watch all my messages and they appear red in my "inbox." This would also
make it easy for me to keep track of what new messages I have, in threads
that I have started. Is this doable?

No it is not doable

Windows Mail can't do that, but Windows Live Mail can.
You are encouraged to upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

Gary I downloaded the program but didn't see any way to transfer the
settings. Its really not worth it for me to have to manually configure
everything...is there a way to import my Windows Mail settings?

When started for the first time, Windows Live Mail normally
imports the settings from Windows Mail if the two programs
exist in the same Windows user profile.
If that didn't happen, there is a registry change you can make
that will tell Windows Live Mail it is running for the first time,
so it will try importing again. I don't have the details, so please
post in the Windows Live Mail newsgroup:

http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...dg=microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop
or via your news reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

You can set up another instance of the newsserver. In one, put the NGs you
visit most and in the other put other NGs you visit less often. Just go to
Tools | Accounts | Add News and add msnews.microsoft.com
