Vista - Setting Synchronisation settings - Newsgroups

07-08-2009

Both in OE and Windows Mail (I think) you could select a group of newsgroups
and set the synchronisation settings in one go. This function seems to be
missing from WLM, or have I missed something? (It's a RRPITA to have to set
EACH newsgroup separately, especially if you are subscribed to a large
number...)

Yes, that's how it works..no global setting...it follows a similar practice necessary to configure individual mail accounts in WLM.
If you recall, both OE and WM don't have separate email accounts(ie one inbox, etc) thus the change in WLM for both mail and
newsgroups.

Thanks - it's still a PITA!

I never understood why upgrading means you have to give up productivity
and features. Why do we upgrade again for?
