I found web interface. What MS news server is 'microsoft.public.windowsxp.general' on?
I tried 'msnews.microsoft.com' server, and it is not listed. I am having problems with my ISP EarthLink's news server with MS groups. Any of my MS groups are timing out on EarthLink's server, but all other groups are working fine. Sorry if this seems a bit of topic. I can post, but not receive. I thought someone here may be able to help.
Thanks!

Never mind I found out by bumping up the time-out settings in Agent's
INI file things work fine.

Use the newsreader in Outlook Express, set up the account
with "msnews.microsoft.com"
I'll stay with Agent. EarthLink must have tweaked some things. I
changed some of the time settings in the INI file and things work fine.
No offense, but I like to stay away from MS products for email and news
especially since EarthLink requires a valid email address to post to
news. I opened the email account on EarthLink just for posting to
EarthLink news. 99.9% of the email I receive on the account is nothing
but garbage infected and caught by my Anti-virus program. The other
..01% is notices from EarthLink that my email account is full. It
happens daily. I've corresponded with EarthLink support, and apparently
their tech support just don't care to figure a way around news server
authentication other than an email account. I use text based email and
news programs to stay away from the problem. MS programs are one BIG FAT
target for the virus writers.

I use Hotmail by choice. I have several email accounts in
Hotmail and use Outlook Express. I have it set to only
download headers. I delete about 80-85% of the mail by just
looking at the headers.
I set the mail options on the Hotmail webpage to high
security on bulk mail/junk mail and have such mail
automatically sent to the deleted folder. I did this when
SWEN hit and was sending dozens of 156 KB emails every hour.
The bulk mail filters caught the SWEN, never got any in the
INBOX but it was filling the 2 MB account limit every hour.
You are told you can buy extra storage (per account) for $20
a year, but the SWEN would have filled 10 GB in two hours.
I get a lot of spam on my Yahoo email and will take similar
steps to stop that. I use YahopoPops! with Outlook Express
(www.sourceforge.net) to read my Yahoo mail with Outlook
Express. It imports web Yahoo mail by a proxy as POP mail
so OE can filter it and apply message rules.
My ISP is a college, very cheap... unlimited access for $6 a
month but it lacks some services. It also is not a target
for spammers, falling below the visible horizon.
