setup for Microsoft Newsgroups

[Susan]

How do I setup Outlook to view Microsoft Newsgroups? I had
to reintall Windows ME and I lost all my setings. I do
not know what to enter for the Internet News Server Name.

Thanks for any information.

You don't - Outlook has never had a newsreader - it 'piggybacks' off OE. Not
sure what you mean by 'internet news server name' either - do you mean the
NNTP (News Network Transfer Protocol) server? If so - no one here can assist
you - you will need to find the documentation that your ISP sent you when
you signed up with them, or contact them if you cannot find the paperwork.

If, however, you wish to view the MS groups in OE, then the server is
msnews.microsoft.com. To set up, type 'news' into Outlook's help.

Thanks, it was the msnews.microsoft.com that I needed!
