Newsgroups

[Edward O''''Brien]

I'm using Vista Home Premium - I generally use Outlook 2007 for my e-mail and
organising but recently went to Windows Mail to find a Newsgroup (unavailable
in Outlook). However, no Newgroups were visible. Unable to find a way to find
them I clicked on "Help" and the advice includes "Click the Tools menu, and
then click Newsgroups."

However, there is no "Newsgroups" option in the Tools menu that displays.
The Windows Mail I have is version 6.0.6000....

Can anyone help me with this?

TIA

Ed

Hi Ed,
Probably because you have not setup a connection (account) to a Usenet server.
You need to contact your ISP to get the server info.
This link will setup a connection to MS's public server in Windows Mail.

Use the info below to set it up in Windows Mail. Substitute Windows Mail for the
words Outlook Express. It is exactly the same way you set it up

Your link is nothing and will do nothing

Here is the correct one for a newsreader

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista mail

On the web:

Thanks, Peter (and jaf for taking an intrerest).

All is now okay.

Best wishes,
