| | Re: Microsoft Communities Windows Mail is apparently intermixing NNTP (newsgroup) functionality with XML Web Services to fetch community metadata like "[QUESTION]/answer/comment" or author information associated with a particular newsgroup post. It seems that while the NTTP service is running, the community metadata web service is down. And from what I can tell, there's nothing we can do in the client to disable the community metadata crap, so we have to suffer through these ANNOYING ERROR MESSAGES!!! :-/ Jon "Dave" wrote: > well, mine works... that's how I'm reading these posts... > > is your server set to msnews.microsoft.com > Tools - Accounts - News - Properties - server > > no logon is required > > > "jimrx4" <jimrx4@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:FA68DB5D-7798-49AD-8E87-1A4C622A4057@microsoft.com... > > When I open Windows Mail and go to Microsoft Communities and cleck on one > > of > > the Newsgroups I wish to read I receive the following message.

| | Re: Microsoft Communities I don't see you posting how to "fix" the problem. At least I'm doing something useful. Several people have written me back, thanking me for advising how to turn off that nuisance error message. If you had any background in NNTP you'd know that the error is a server issue that CANNOT be fixed from the user end.
