OT - How to set up a usenet news reader in outlook express?
I changed my internet provider and now use a gmail account. I can get
the email account settings but so far I haven't been able to get a working connection to usenet (news account) in outlook. Any ideas? Phil H |

Any ideas? Phil H Dear Phil, Does your ISP even offer the service? If not, www.motzarella.org is free for text usenet and has a quick registration. If your ISP offers the service, they may have an FAQ like this for getting Outlook to connect to a news account: http://www.cam.ac.uk/cs/docs/faq/j5.html More details might help. Cheers, Carl Fogel |
