The public.office.misc newsgroup is still alive but not on the MS Servers. You can
go to .aioe.org server and you will find it there along with all
microsoft.public.newsgroups that you were used to using

Otherwise to as (Txx) No Mo suggested

Of course, hardly anyone is posting anymore, so it's really becoming a moot
point no matter what nttp news servers are used.

Now how can I get it into my outlook folders?

You can't, Outlook doesn't do newsgroups, Outlook Express does newsgroups.

Beginning in June 2010, Microsoft will begin closing newsgroups and
migrating users to Microsoft forums...

Connect to a different NNTP server. Microsoft is dropping their
microsoft.public.* newsgroups and will eventually kill their NNTP
server. So go connect somewhere else. Microsoft is leaving Usenet.
Usenet is not disappearing because Microsoft left. The
microsoft.public.* newsgroup will continue existing at other NSPs
(newsgroup service providers).

There are many free and paid NSPs, like Albasani, Eternal-September,
AIOE (very flaky), individual.net (cheap at $16USD/yr), and Giganews.
Your own ISP might provide their own NNTP server for newsgroups access
(alas, many ISPs have dropped newsgroups). You can ask in the
alt.free.newsservers group on recommendations for a [free] NSP.

That's what I meant Outlook Express.

You can't, Outlook doesn't do newsgroups, Outlook Express does newsgroups.

 

[Bob I]

then as was said before.
"go to .aioe.org server"

That's what I meant Outlook Express.
