I'm using WLM to access the newgroups only. How can I have the newsgroups page by default, instead of clicking "Ctrl + shift + L"? Glory to whom, having no hallowed ideals, merely tries not to suck his felloman too much! WARNING: this philosophical (?) statement implies no irreverence whatsoever to the bloke next door!
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to figure out this whole newsgroup thing, but I'm having problems figuring out how to find the server name to put in the "Internet News Server Name Field" in live mail. I'm a member of a google newsgroup, but I still am lost as to how to get updates on live mail. I know this is an extremely stupid question, but can someone please point me in the right direction?

View 4 Replies View RelatedQuite new to newsgroups within vista mail. In the past when I have used newsgroups and subscribed, I manage to be able to follow posts or look at messages from weeks ago. All I seem to be getting is 137 headers or whatever there called.Tried unsubscribing, reset etc. Do newsgroups work like normal mail that once you've downloaded you need to keep a copy on the server or you won't get that message ever again I posted a message yesterday and had to online to the Microsoft online newsgroup and search for my post.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to continue using Eudora as my default mail (the one I use for personal mail), and I would like to use Yahoo to forward messages from newsgroups. When I start to do that, Windows Mail starts the process to set up a mail account. The Internet e-mail address that is shown automatically is correct (my Yahoo mail). It asks for the mail server and SMTP server for outgoing mail, which I assume would be the information provided by suddenlink that I also use for Eudora. Then it asks for my e-mail username. The name that appears automatically is actually the name that appears before the @ sign in my Yahoo address. The next box requests the password my Internet service provider has given me. That sounds like the password for Sudden link, but I want to use Yahoo for this purpose.
View 7 Replies View RelatedCan I automatically download all of my newsgroup messages instead of just
downloading the headers.
In Windows Mail, if one hits TOOLS the drop down menu list shows "newsgroups" there among other options (I have Vista) and mine does NOT have it listed. Somehow I lost it. Either through an old crash, a system restore due to the crash or I somehow accidentally deleted it. (I have no idea how long ago this happened - none at all.) Now I cannot replace it on my own. I need help BADLY. I very much want it back there as there are half a dozen or so really good newsgroups I discovered recently and want to join and it would, of course, be GREAT to have that back on my drop down menu.
My questions are: How do I get it back? Where do I go to download Windows Mail again or to "repair" Windows Mail? I have way too much mail in there right now to lose. Many thousands of pieces of mail. (I'm very, very surprised they haven't asked me to "compact" yet like Outlook Express often did when I had XP - back in the good old days. If this cannot be done (not with my luck I'm sure) is there other rather easy and convenient options for me to subscribe to 6 or so of these "newsgroups"?
Obviously I am a virgin newbie to all this and do not understand the Techie Lexicon at all but am interested very much in joining these newsgroups to learn about new things as well as resolving my problems - troubleshooting. Also learning a few tips and tweaking for Windows, Vista, Foxfire and Internet Explorer is my primary interest. Very, very safe totally freeware (compatible) is a bonus if I should get lucky.
I can receive mail from newsgroups, but can't send replies. Regular email works fine. ANyone else having this problem in Windows Mail?
View 4 Replies View RelatedCan someone provide some help in searching Windows Mail? When I used OE under XP, I could search for a subject or author, obtain a list, click on the one I want -- and that would take me to the desired thread. When I do the same thing under Windows Mail, I am only able to read the specific message I click on. If I want to read the whole thread, I still have to scroll down a long list in an attemp to find it. Surely, I must be missing something? How can I go back to the functionality of locating the thread? I am using Vista Home Premium (full edition, not OEM).

I keep having the problem of missing replies in different newsgroups in Vista mail. (I do get the replies normally on my PC with Outlook Express). By resetting the group in Vista Mail I can fix replies back, but... do I have to keep resetting groups now just to be able to follow a thread?
View 5 Replies View RelatedInstalled Vista Ultimate 64 bit over the weekend, dual booting with my XP Pro install, so far I am finding myself liking it more and more. I have set up newsgroups in windows mail, and email access. I really like some of the features of windows mail versus the older Outlook Express, especially the calendar feature, and the spellcheck included. I use Outlook 2002 ( from Office XP ) on my XP Pro install, mainly for the calendar feature, so was pleased to see this included in windows mail. Not going to try to install Office XP on my Vista, as I understand there would be issues with that. I think what I have with Windows Mail though, will serve me ok.
I see where another program, Windows Live Mail is available as well. I checked on the link I found, and really did not see a lot about it. What is the general consensus here, is the Windows Live Mail program much better than the included windows mail program? I don't really understand what the differences are here.
I have had Vista for about a week. Still learning Win. Mail vs the old Outlook Express in XP. I have set up mail & Newsgroup accts. That seems ok. My quest. is why in Newsgroups
do I have to click *catch up* in order for the counter to clear? In OE they cleared when I went from newsgroup to newsgroup. Is this just the way WinMail works or did I miss a setting somewhere?
Is there anything that is extra in windows mail that is not available in live mail? Is there any way to uninstall windows mail since it seems to be integrated with vista?

View 5 Replies View Relatedsince upgrading tp Vista, Both windows Mail and Live mail do not always donnload messages from my pop 3 accounts. I have to open my accounts online and when I have opened the accounts both mail and live mail will then down load messages, This does not happen all of the time, so I know the account settings are correct. It is just annoying that I have to check online every day rather than just checking mail or live mail. This never happened with XP running Outlook Express. is this a problem with Vista, or my mail servers

View 9 Replies View RelatedI use Windows Mail (not Live mail). Until 2 weeks ago, had no problems but now Windows Mail will not receve any e-mail apart from a couple of spam ones all else is blocked. It will send e-mail no problem still. I can only receive e-mail if I log in and go via my ISP Tiscali home page so, I know that there are around 50 e-mails a day being sent to me but Windows Mail doesn't download them or produce any error codes to say their is a fault. To try and resolve this, I have turned off my Norton e-mail scanner and even uninstalled it completely and also turned off windows defender and windows firewall - but it all made no difference. Windows Mail just can't seem to see my e-mails. This all started when I was on holiday abroad 2 weeks ago when I was using a WiFi connection different to my usual Tiscali wireless used at home.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have just installed an update that included the latest version of Live Mail and am absolutely amazed at the result. Surely they are kidding? In newsgroups now for some reason, new items have only the author (From) field highlighted with bold text and the subject and other fields just in normal text. The result is that when you receive new items in watched threads, you cannot see which thread it is that has the new items unless you go through and expand each one manually! Surely this is a bug in my setup and can't really be like this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Windows Mail on my Vista machine. I did a clean install of Windows 7, and I now see that Windows Mail is not included. I must down from the Windows Live collection of 'Live' applications.
when I pressed the download button, I saw the file was named wlsetup-web.exe. Does this mean that to install Mail, I will first be installing the framework for installing any other Live applications I may want in the future? That is, is this like installing only Word from the Office suite?
I can't get used to the current wishy-washy version of Live Mail (version 14 I believe) and would like to get the previous version (12) back. Does anyone know whether it can still be downloaded please and if so where from? If I find someone who still has the original installation.exe file and could get them to email it to me would it work? And is there by any chance such a kind person on this forum?

Windows Mail is so buggy I am beginning to feel I shall be forced to use Windows Live Mail, which I dislike imtensely. Almost wonder if that is what MS want and therefore dont fix WM. In Windows Live Mail, is there any way of sizing or moving the list of email accounts which dominates the whole of the left hand column? I have many accounts and having them take up so much space is just awful. It's the huge account headers that cause the problem - really bad design. Also, how does one get buttons for the common functions onto the menu bar? Or is this impossible and yet another bad design flaw? Why on earth don't MS provide OE for Vista? There was nothing wrong with it and the demand for it seems enormous.
