Set Up Mail To Use With Newsgroups
Mar 23, 2008
I 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.

Quite 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.

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!

Can 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.

Can 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).

2 computers, one running XP & Outlook Express shows any newsgroup posts or replies I make. The other, running Vista Home Premium and Windows Mail, won't display any of my posts or replies to threads but, others can see and reply to them and I can see my postings contained in their replies.

When trying to post to newsgroups, such as this one, with a graphic =
attachment such as a .GIF file, Windows Mail is incapable to post. =
Thunderbird posts it like a champ.
I'm running Vista Ultimate.

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?

Installed 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?

I'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?

(Running Vista Ultimate 64-bit, SP-2, IE-7, WM-6, classic mode, dial-up.)
BACKGROUND: Lately I've noticed that when I check my email Windows Mail seems to be stopped/stuck while checking a newsgroup for new messages. I've discovered that it may be in that mode (checking a particular newsgroup) for over an hour. I solve the problem at the time by clicking stop, and then it checks for messages and I find a number ofmessages sent over the previous hour or more.
I know of the setting to determine how often to check my server for email. Is there another setting somewhere that determines how often the newsgroups are checked? I'd be
happy to have the newsgroups checked only when I open a newsgroup, but I don't know how to do that.

I had been getting a variety of different newsgroups via news.verizon.net for years. Recently on about 5/11/08, I suddenly could not connect to this source any more. In the meantime, various newsgroups from msnews.microsoft.com continued to work as always. I have been in chat sessions more than three times with Verizon on this matter and each time, all my settings seem to be fine and they cannot solve the problem. I have noted if I try to bring any other new newsgroup, they all fail in the process of trying to bring in their list of groups.
The error message is the same as when I try to connect to news.verizon.net. I have attached a file showing the error message. lastly, I don;t believe it is the particular computer, a Vista Home HP Laptop that I am using as other machines on my wired network no longer can connect to the Verizon newsgroups. It is not my router as I directly connected one machine to the DSL modem and it still could not connect.

Where are the Windows 7 newsgroups? I have a Toshiba Satellite x205-sli4 32-bit with Vista Ultimate. I would like to upgrade to Windows 7 as soon as it is prudent to do so. I have read in the media that this upgrade will be free of charge. Is this true?

Does the MS decision to leave out Windows 7 newsgroups as well as a newsreader in the OS a harbinger of the future? That the UseNet is being phased out - or is dying - after almost a third of a century? Does MS know (and control) something we don't? So is this also a social change dictated by technology's progress? - That people will now forgo these discussions and instead concentrate on 'faster' means of conversation. I don't really know where to stand on this but I feel we are witnessing another - rather uncelebrated - change in online sociology. Should I look forward to future newsgroups carried on Twitter someday? Just some year-end musings (meaningless perhaps). Wishing everybody a Happy New Year.

I know there is probably an easy answer to this question, but I can't find it. I have found answers on how to block senders in e-mail, but I would like to know how to block messages from specific senders in *newsgroups.* I am using Windows Mail 6 (with IE 7 and Vista Home Premium.

Is anyone ever going to create newsgroups like Microsoft.Public.Windows.7.xxx? And, a comment: I installed the Windows 7 Release Candidate on an old SIS-741-based motherboard with an AMD Athlon XP processor. It works great. The drivers for the SIS-964 built-in Ethernet were never built for Vista, but amazingly, the XP drivers worked fine for this device. The driver file that Windows 7 is using is called SISNICXP.SYS. I also pointed Windows 7 to the folder with the "i386" drivers for the Promise SATA-300 TX4 add-in card (ulsata2.inf), and it happily installed the SYS files, and the attached SATA disks work fine.
Windows 7 found the AC '97 audio drivers on Windows Update. I meant to disable the audio on this computer since I'm not going to use it, but I forgot. (My computers that do audio, have much better audio add-in cards than a built-in AC '97 chip!)I'm encrypting two of the 500 GB SATA disks with BitLocker now. It is a very slow process, but I'll only have to do it once.I'm happily amazed that the "i386" drivers for the SATA controller, and the SIS-964 Ethernet drivers from Windows XP, worked in Windows 7.
