Connecting To News Servers
Mar 23, 2008
Is there a way to set WIN MAIL so that it doesn't open a post when I connect to a server? In Outlook Express IIRC when I connected to a server it didn't open anything until I actually selected a message. WIN MAIL seems to open almost any post on the server at random. It's not the last post I read and I'm not even sure it's one that I have read in the past--it just seems pretty random. I'd just like it to sit there with the preview pane blank until I select a message. Is there any way to have that happen?

My ISP is deleting this and most groups from their news service. What choices do I have for a replacement News Service. Obviously FREE is preferred, but a good service is more important.

I can post / reply newsgroup in microsoft news group with my new system (WM + vista), just as exactly this one does. But, I couldn't do so in my university's news group, it only worked fine with my system installed with XP + OE! Is it possible for some news servers do not accept posting / reply from WM / vista (*however, i can't read the newsgroup without any problem...)

Is it possible to obtain a comprehensive listing of servers and interpreters that are a normal part of the Windows Vista Operating System? These are the only kinds of programs I expect the Security updates to be fixing.
Servers = Programs included with the OS which accepts commands from the Internet or LAN external to My Computer. Interpreters = Programs which will execute any kind of source code whatsoever like HyperTextMarkUpLanguage HTML or Basic or C+ or Fortran or whatever.
I know of no other kinds of programs unless you can tell me now that may work ndependent of User Control. If I could ID these rouge programs running in the background it would be better than the security updates themselves.

When they didn't disappear on June 1st, there were all kinds of speculations going on, but now we know for sure: they are gone. All WinME ng's and the german ng. all gone by now, with the click of the mouse. Can someone reiterate where to turn instead for sharing of pertinent information?

How do I set up Newsgator to get my Microsoft newsgroup stuff in Outlook 2007? I already have NewsGator plugin installed. It asks me for a server, username, and password. Would my username be my email address? What format do I use for the NNTP server? I tried microsoft.public.windows.vista.general, but it said it could not connect to the news server. "...I fail to understand why they feel the need to convince people who are happy with Vista that they are wrong. That is aside from the self-esteem issues they must have ;-)"

Is it possible to use more than one SMTP server in Windows Mail? I'm working on my notebook on different locations with different internet providers. I now have to switch manually from server each time I want to send mail. I want Windows Mail to check witch preferred SMTP server is available and use that one.

I use Outlook for my e-mails. Unfortunately, Outlook does not have access to news groups. When I go to Mail to get access to the news groups, Mail downloads all of the e-mails since I last used Mail. It may have been weeks since my last use of Mail so the list is rather long (hundreds). Is there any way to stop downloading all of these e-mails that I have already dealt with on Outlook? Why does Outlook not provide access to Newsgroups?

I'm home from college for the summer and i set up my windows mail so it receives mail from my UNH email address. Since I've been home i can receive mail but not send it. Does this have something to do with not being on the UNH server at home? Is there anyway i can fix it so i can send my mail from home?

When using the email set-up wizard I come to a screen that says:
Set up e-mail servers
Incoming e-mail server type:
(drop down menu w/choice of POP3, IMAP or HTTP)
Incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server:
(blank space)
Outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) name:
(blank space)
(box)Outgoing server requires authentication
how to fill this out? I have a WI-FI connection that is actually my neighbors service (they are friends and gave their approval for us to use it). Sorry to be so detailed but I noticed that others who posted similar Q's but were less so (detailed) got either vague answers or answers I didnt understand.

I am thinking of updating to Vista from Windows XP, and would like to know if Vista Mail filtering provided any improvement on Outlook Express. In particular can filtering be done on news header fields like

Im going to sound like a Neophyte question. Why is it that this newsgroup is hijacked by this guy Keven and what ever the heck he is doing. I dont get it. Cant this news group be set up to refuse mail from this name. Im not critical really I just dont understand, with all the technology today, surely the moderator has the power to stop his eamil address. And if he creates a new one put it in. Ive neverrun a news group so I may be in the dark.
My second question is perhaps more phylisophical. I dont get what he is doing, I mean the messages are stupid. At least if they are ads for drugs I get it he is selling something but, these messages I just dont get ?? What is the point of it all. I hope Im not focusing too much attention on this I just dont get these two questions. Its amazing how one guy can be such a fool?? I flag it as spam but no one seems to do anything about it??

I use Windows mail for my e-mail and news group access. When I access my comcast e-mail (where all the info is correctly entered and stored in the account setup) I have no problem. When I try to access my newsgroup (where all my info is correctly entered and stored in the account setup) a Windows Security window pops up, displays my Vista PC administrator symbol and asks me for a user name and password to access the newsgroup account. I enter the correct info and Windows Security screen will not accept it. I had never ever been asked for a user name and password by a Windows Security Pop Up before and it doesn't ask me for that info on my e-mail.

When trying to create my email I couldn't find my Incoming Mail (POP3 or IMAP) server name or my Outgoing email server (SMTP) name.
I can't find my email server providers either so how do I find out what to put as my email servers?

I really don't like Vista and have had nothing but trouble getting it connected. I tried connecting it wirelessly to my AirPort wireless and it would connect and could see everything on the network including the gateway, but would go no further.
I then tried a wired connection using all the same numbers (except the last one) that I have on my other desktops at home (3 XPs and 1 2000). Again, it sees the local network fine but will not go out the gateway. Cannot ping the DNS servers. I know it isn't the wire. I plug it directly back in my computer and it works fine. The route print looks fine (except for all the On-links under the Gateway). I tried uninstalling the Norton Internet Security to see if that was a problem and making sure the Microsoft Firewall was off. Still can't get out of the local network. I never had this kind of problem with my XPs.

I have one Vista PC that is being completely uncooperative.We have a bunch of computer connected through a router, some xp, acouple Vista.The best computer is an XP one, so I want to use it as a server for asmall upcoming LAN party. All computers can see and join the server for various games...all except this Asus Laptop with Vista!
I have firewalls shut off for the server computer and this laptop. I have the network on the laptop set to Private. On the laptop, I canactually see the XP computer. I can even open up and download shared files from it!
Regardless, I cannot see or manually connect to IP for any other server in the network (the XP or others...even the other Vista). This computer ust refuses. I have a LAN party scheduled for tomorrow and I'mfreaking out that some of the vista computers won't work.

Used to access my Hotmail account using Windows Mail. After re-installing my O/S, Windows Vista Home Premium, I can no longer set this up. When I get to the point where it asks for my e-mail address I input this, click on next, and the message "Windows Mail no longer supports the http servers used by Hotmail.......". I remember this happened when I bought my computer but managed to get round it, but can't remember how. I have a paid subscription to Windows Live Onecare and believe this is something to do with the "paid " subscription referred to on other threads.
