NewsGroups

I have 2 newsgroups..Microsoft Communities and news.shawcable.net
Both work fine and are listed under Tools/Accounts/News
I Have setup a few rules one of which is to delete all news item older than
3 days.
Everytime I invoke this rule or any rule for that matter Live Mail comes
back with the
error message that I have no Newsgroups and should set some up.
So I started from scratch..deleted the news groups...shut down Live Mail and
restarted
Live Mail...set the accounts up all over again only to have the same
problem.
Is there any fixes for this???

Re: NewsGroups

You have to manually apply a news rule.
I do not have problems with news rules.
Are you applying the rule to one newsgroup?

Those aren't newsgroups. They are newsgroups accounts. It sounds like
you haven't chosen any newsgroups under either of them.

Re: NewsGroups

Peter posted with X-Newsreader: Microsoft Windows Live Mail 12.0.1606, so he
had to have a newsgroup setup.

Re: NewsGroups

Hi Ron
I do manually apply the news rule to one newsgroup at a time and both
instances
give me that message.

Re: NewsGroups

Is your news account set as "default account", I think it has to be, but
could be wrong.

Re: NewsGroups

I select the news server and that applies the rule to all subscribed
newsgroups on that server.
