| | MS Newsgroups Newsgator in Outlook How do I set up Newsgator to get my Microsoft newsgroup stuff in Outlook 2007? I already have NewsGator plugin installed. It asks me for a server, username, and password. Would my username be my email address? What format do I use for the NNTP server? I tried microsoft.public.windows.vista.general, but it said it could not connect to the news server. -- "...I fail to understand why they feel the need to convince people who are happy with Vista that they are wrong.

| | Re: MS Newsgroups Newsgator in Outlook Hi, Username is whatever name you want to appear, do not provide a valid, unmunged email address unless you like lots of spam. Server is msnews.microsoft.com, no password is required. microsoft.public.windows.vista.general is the group name, one of many. -- 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 "Sam" <spam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:43BB2B05-320E-4639-AB1C-C2961E3FC9A5@xxxxxx Quote: > How do I set up Newsgator to get my Microsoft newsgroup stuff in Outlook > 2007?

| | Re: MS Newsgroups Newsgator in Outlook Ok, thanks, I got as far as synchronizing the news feed. Then it initially said "NewsGator can't synchronize the feeds at the time." After I tried again it just hangs while saying "Synchronizing..." Also, can I use NewsGator in Outlook 2007 to post newsgroup stuff, or just receive it? -- "...I fail to understand why they feel the need to convince people who are happy with Vista that they are wrong.

| | Re: MS Newsgroups Newsgator in Outlook Ok, it now gets the posts. But, when I click "reply" it tries to send to the poster's email address, not the group.

| | Re: MS Newsgroups Newsgator in Outlook At http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/olexpr.asp I found a "NewsGator NNTP Posting Plugin" to post to newsgroups.
