newsreader

[Zeus]

I'm switching over from OE to Outlook, am I going to be
able to use Outlook as my newsgroup reader as I did in OE?

Outlook uses OE as the newsreader.

Sorry, reading through the news groups (trying to learn) and saw this
post. Is there a way to configure my Outlook 2003 to access this news
group? I've always used my browser since I did not know this was possible.

Thanks in advance.

You need to configure OE to access it.

The newsgroup server is msnews.microsoft.com and you don't need a username
or password. If you only want to open OE with News (not mail) available you
can either create a shortcut using /newsonly or /outnews switches or add the
Go, News command to Outlook's toolbar. (See help for instructions.)

Hi Ernest,

You should use Outlook Express or you should by 3rd party software for
Microsoft Outlook; e.g. our product MAPILab NNTP for Outlook allows read
and post to newsgroups in Microsoft Outlook 2000, 2002/XP, 2003 (if you
are not very familiar with Outlook, our Flash demo [available online]
help you to install and configure MAPILab NNTP step-by-step):

You can also find two other 3rd party solutions for this issue at
