I don't know of a newsgroup that discusses Microsoft's e-mail services
(versus their local clients, like Outlook [Express], WLM, etc). Looks
like you are stuck using their crappy web-based forums, like:

If Brit Tel was at fault then it seems the problem would be larger than
just the inability to reach a Microsoft web site, like all Internet
access was gone so you couldn't reach any web site.
