Vista - Sign In

I have an account with Microsoft Newsgroup that I set up before I got on
Windows Mail. Now, when I try to sign in from Windows Mail (as I am
requested to do when I try to post), the sign-in button does not bring up a
window. I turned on 'accept popups' in IE, but can't get anything in Mail.
How do I set this up?

Did you set up the WM Communities news account to use the Community
Features? Tools>accounts>MS news account>properties>Live ID tab.

Not sure why you mention IE, because using WM does not involve any web site,
you get and post the news messages via WM.

Please be a little more specific in reporting how you are accessing your
newsgroups?

Tools | Accounts
Select Microsoft Communities and click Properties. On the Windows Live ID
tab fill in the information and select how to treat the communities feature.
