What's the best way to search for older news in the newsgroups ? Can
I do that in Outlook Express ? Or should I use Google Groups search
for that ?
I use Google Groups to search old messages...you can only search messages
(or headers) you've already downloaded into OE, not messages that are on the
server but not downloaded yet. I just find Google Groups easier.
Also, can I read news in Outlook XP ? Is there a plug-in or something
that will allow me to do it ?
The other person who replied to you listed his own company's product for
this purpose; there are others but most are read-only (you can download
messages but not reply to them or post new messages). If you don't want to
use a 3rd party solution, you can access the Outlook Newsreader (OE in a
news only mode) through Outlook using View | Go To | News.
Wahat's the easiest way to backup my account info in OUTLOOK XP ?
Account info is stored in the registry; I don't know of any easy way to back
it up. Some folks export the account info from Outlook to OE, then import
it back to Outlook later. See

for more information about backing up Outlook data and settings.
