When I try to reply to a group, I got a message 'The Message could not be
sent. No sender was specified. Please check your News Account information.'
The server settings are: pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com. The Name and
E-mail address are all filled.

Please any help. Thanks

You need to set up a newsreader before you can access newsgroups.

Thank you,

as per the instruction, I set up the Windows mail for subscribing to the
Microsoft Newsgroups and I could see one of the Newsgroup in Windows mail.
But still I could not send a message to my primary Newsgroup.

Thank you

What is your primary newsgroup? MSNews is a news server with 2000+
newsgroups. Don't confuse a newsgroup with a news server, in case you are.

Since you posted using the Web interface, copy and paste this link into
your browser's address bar. I should bring you right back here via Windows
Mail.

I mean 'primary newsgroup' the Newsgroup created by a Professor for
discussion on a course for students.

Which tells me nothing.

You need:

1: The name of the newsgroup, (Like Professor Joe's Group).

2: The name of a news server that carries that specific newsgroup. (MSNews
will not).

If your professor created the group, he/she should be able to give you
this information.

Thank you Bruce

I have the names of the News Server and Newsgroup. I can view all the
messages sent by the group members but when I want to reply to the group by
clicking on 'Reply Group' button, I got the error message "The message could
not be sent. No sender was specified. Please check your news account
configuration."

I think this clarifies my problem I faced.

Thank you

When you click Reply Group, what is in the To field? Are you actually
subscribed to the group with posting privileges?

Note that you would have gotten help faster if you had said that ("Newsgroup
created by a Professor") in your original question.
