getting more used to my new outlook express, and wondering
about the news accounts. Is there a way to post newsgroups
like this one in there? If not, what it this NEWS account
for? Please help, so I may quit hitting my head against
the monitor.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
 
Yes, you can configure this newsserver in your Outlook Express. The server
address is msnews.microsoft.com.
The current newsgroup you are in is microsoft.public.office.microsoft
Note that this isn't the newsgroup for Outlook Express.
The newsgroup for Outlook Express is
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
