| | news groups mail I use Outlook for my e-mails. Unfortunately, Outlook does not have access to news groups. When I go to Mail to get access to the news groups, Mail downloads all of the e-mails since I last used Mail. It may have been weeks since my last use of Mail so the list is rather long (hundreds). Is there any way to stop downloading all of these e-mails that I have already dealt with on Outlook? Why does Outlook not provide access to Newsgroups? Thanks, Len Urban |

| | Re: news groups mail Don't ask why Outlook doesn't do Newsgroups... Its never been able to do it, and MSFT doesn't seem to want it ever to do that.. they have made live mail desktop that is actually a substitute for windows and does newsgroups. Most email servers do not send the same emails if you check the emails with 2 programs... However you may have a setting in outlook wrong. Question: when you check your email in windows mail, do you also get the same email later on outlook?

| | Re: news groups mail Hi Len, In Mail, click tools/accounts and select your mail account. Click properties, then on the general tab uncheck the box to include this account when synchronizing. Repeat for other mail accounts as desired. Outlook was never designed for use as a newsreader, and Microsoft will likely not change this. They provide the function with the basic mail program included with Windows, and that's generally sufficient. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Len Urban" <lturban@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:gpLVj.5678$%X1.4911@xxxxxx Quote: >I use Outlook for my e-mails.

| | Re: news groups mail ( this is outlook 2007) tools>account settings>(select your account) and press CHANGE>on that window press the MORE SETTINGS BUTTON> go to the advanced TAB and see the last 3 checkmark boxes, on of them says LEAVE MESSAGE ON SERVER, the window with the checkmark is similar to this (I just found this image on the internet to show you what the window is like) http://www.csus.edu/saclink/email/im...ed_setting.gif that means its left on the server, so when you open windows mail it downloads again what kind of email account do you have?

| | Re: news groups mail >, and that's generally sufficient. most hardcore newsgroup users would laugh at this, since they use very complex newsreaders with many options like Forte Personally I never cared about many options, I just wanted something simple and easy to use.. that's why its outlook express, live mail, windows mail, thunderbird for me... I have used all existing newsreaders for windows and linux though...

Personally, I find it's interface and functionality to be inferior to that of Windows Mail, but the OP may want to give it a try. http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/nntp/ Charlie42 |

| | Re: news groups mail Yeah, but why did the accounts get set up in WinMail to begin with? If he deletes the mail accounts, then it won't download the mail. There are several switches to start Winmail in news mode only: "C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" /newsonly "C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" /outnews "C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" /news I believe the button on the Outlook toolbar for "read news" starts WinMail in this fashion, but I'm not sure as I don't have Outlook installed. steve "Rick Rogers" <rick@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:%23EV5tt8sIHA.1772@xxxxxx Quote: > If the timer is set, it will still download email automatically after the > initial time period passes.
