You have to set up a news account. Take a look here for more
info.

If you want to use the Microsoft news server, click on this
link.

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...dowsxp.general

That will take you to this newsgroup. Now to access other
newsgroups, go to the Tools menu at the top of your Outlook
Express window. Select Newsgroups from the menu. Hit the "Reset
list" button. You can now search for other newsgroups on the MS
server.

Good luck

If you right click on his message and select Properties from
the menu, you'll see on the General tab
discussions.microsoft.com after the @ sign. Click on the
Details tab and you'll see X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for
Windows 2000. Both of these indicate that he's posting from
this web site.

Obviously (if you would take the trouble to check his headers) he didn't
post from Outlook Express, but from the awful web-based CDO interface.

Right click the shortcut you're using to open Outlook Express.
On the Shortcut tab, look in the Target box.
It should say something similar to this,
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe"
If the /mailonly switch has been added to this line, remove it.

If that isn't the problem you might want to post your question
to the Outlook Express newsgroup.

Meanwhile, until you get this problem resolved you might want
to consider using another newsreader such as Thunderbird.

Is this a sudden, new problem or an ongoing one?

Is the News tab at OE Tools > Accounts available in a new identity (File >
Identities > Add new identity)?

What happens when you click on the following link? =>
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...xpress.general

Is MS Outlook your default Mail Client?
