can anyone help me with this
Wrong newsgroup. This newsgroup is for Outlook, not Outlook Express.
Outlook Express used to be called Internet Mail & News. It was
unfortunate that Microsoft decided to rename it Outlook Express since
many users seem to think it has anything to do with Outlook. Outlook
and Outlook Express are different products, they are not siblings of
each other, OE is not a "lite" version of Outlook and one is free and
the other is not.
If you are using a newsreader client, like Outlook Express, search the
newsgroups provided by your Internet service provider (ISP) or use
Microsoft's own public NNTP server (news.microsoft.com) for those that
have "express" in them and are for Outlook Express at the version you
have. If you are using a web interface to newsgroups, like Google
Groups, do a search on "Outlook Express" and you'll see a newsgroup
listed for OE6. If using Microsoft's Community web interface to
newsgroups, look under wherever Internet Explorer is found since Outlook
Express is a component of IE.
