Hi.

Can this software be used as a newsgroup reader(like outlook express
can)?

Do I need to create a Live account?

Help.

Thanks.

Re: how to use this software as a newsgroup reader?

Greetings,

Which software are you referring to exactly? I ask because you're using Google Groups via
FireFox so I'm not exactly sure...

You can use Thunderbird (compliant to Firefox) for newsgroups though if you like, or Windows
Live Mail, etc.

Windows Live Messenger is not a newsgroup reader.

Windows Live Mail is - see Windows Live Mail - my new newsreader of choice Poshoholic
