Post subject: Discussion Groups in MS Outlook 2007 under Win7
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>outlook>general (more info?)

How do I initiate disussion groups in MS Outlook 2007? I cannot find the
DISCUSSION GROUPS/NEWS icon that according to the information I found in the
Web should be added to the toolbar. Can anybody help me?

I forgot to say that my MS Outlook 2007 is running under Windows 7.

Thank you very much in advance!

Outlook is not a news client. Install a client such as Windows Live Mail to
read these newsgroups or use the web interface.
There are several add-ins available as well to add newsgroup capabilities to
Outlook, but there is no native solution.

I think the OP was looking for the Go-News command, which (in previous
versions of Windows) opened the default News Reader. There appears to be no
such command in Outlook 2007 on Windows 7...

It's there... but since Win7 doesn't include a newsreader and Go, News
doesn't work with Windows Live Mail, it won't work.

Thanks a lot!

I was indeed looking for the Go-News command! Now I know that there is no
such option when MS Outlook is running under Win7.

By the way, what does the abbreviation "OP" mean?

OP-> Original Poster, meaning the one who started the thread. In this case,
that would be you Smile

MAPILab has an NNTP for Outlook add-in;

It's there. If you don't see it under the Go category in the Customize
dialog, the fix for older versions of Windows is:

>>
To get the News command back, go back to the Programs tab in Control Panel |
Internet Options and change the default newsreader to Outlook Express. If
OE prompts you to make it your default newsreader the next time you launch
it, click the "Don't ask me again" box and then click the No button.
>>

See http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/news.htm for addins that work with
outlook 2007 - I like newshound because it can do the technet/msdn forums.
