Outlook 2003

[Kevin Long]

I just purchased a copy of Microsoft Office 2003 Standard.

I have 2 questions about Microsoft Outlook 2003 that came with the package:

1. Can you setup Outlook such that you can read usenet? In Outlook express
you can, I cannot find anywhere on Outlook 2003 to do so.

2. I have 2 hotmail email addresses. One is just for my personal use and
the second is one that I use for communicating with clients. I have managed
to setup Outlook 2003 with my personal hotmail account and it works great,
but it won't let me do it for my client communication account? It keeps
telling me that I have to upgrade (spend 30 bucks and get the msn upgrade
with microsoft) to be able to use Outlook with hotmail.

Can anybody help me out with these issues?

TIA
Kevin

Outlook uses Outlook Express to read newsgroups. You would be best
served by asking your questions in a newsgroup for Outlook. This is for
the Windows XP operating system. Here is a list of all MS newsgroups:

No. Unlike Outlook Express, Outlook does not do newsgroups.

However you can add a News command to the Go menu, and/or add a
News button on the toolbar. Clicking on either will take you to
the "Microsoft Outlook Newsreader," which isn't Microsoft Outlook
at all, but simply Outlook Express running in news-only mode.
