Unread messages in newsgroups

[Mark R. Cusumano]

How come the number of unread messages in a newsgroup doesn't get updated a lot of times until I select the newsgroup. Is there a setting I forgot to apply?

Also under Outlook express I used to be able to customize the icon bar. Can I do that now?

if you SYNC the news group, the count is displayed.
it it not updated will you actually go to that news group.

just right click on tool bar and select CUSTOMIZE.

Actually I should have clarified. This is under Windows Live Mail. None of that works in Windows Live mail. It works under Outlook Express.

just right click on tool bar and select CUSTOMIZE.

You can't customize the toolbar in Windows Live Mail.

Yes, it is. It's the same crap that Microsoft did to Vista's
Windows Explorer.

Well that's just downright unfriendly!

One of several reasons that I don't use Windows Live Mail.
