If you are referring to more than one News Account then you can have more
than one. I have 6 different News Accounts. To add another News Account in
Outlook Express, go to the Tools menu and select Accounts. Then click Add >
News.

Thank you. Presumably one of you six is default. How does that affect
the way you connect to the others?

You will not have one set as default. You simply select the news account
that you want to connect to from the folder view on the left.

Oh! But I do (have one set as default) by my ISP and I know not how to
change it.

If you want to change a news account so that it is the default news account,
simply right click in the news account in the left hand pane for Outlook
Express and select "Set as Default".

Thanks Why is it that if you are able to access say
'wanadoo.help.misc'
in more than one news account, posts from say "nntp.aioe.org"to
'wanadoo.help.misc' do not appear in 'wanadoo.help.misc' in
'news.freeserve.com' ?

Sorry, I can help you with this but I would guess it is a news server
problem.
