I have created a news rule that when invoked will delete messages that are
older then 3 days.
At least that is how it work on XP/Outlook Express.
Under Vista(64bit RC25744) windows mail i just receive the error message
"you do not have a news account set up.Once you have set up a news account
by going to Tools/Accounts
you will be able to apply your rules to this account"

Under Tools/Accounts I have news.microsoft.com and quite a few of the Vista
groups.

Am I missing something?? has anyone else encountered this??

That's what I have Peter - msnews.microsoft.com -
I think the default newsgroup that came with install was something
different.
I set up a rule for deleting messages after 10 days - it took it OK

Thanks for trying...but msnews.microsoft.com comes back with no server
news.microsoft.com works.................just cannot get the rule to work.
It also does not work for shawnews.cg.shawcable.net

any other suggestions??

Correction....................
msnews.microsoft.com does connect and work.
The rule is applied.............even though I still get the error message
when I return to any specific newsgroup the listings
older than 3 days have disappeared..................

Hi Peter,

I've receive this message before. To resolve the problem try the following:

Navigate to Tools, Accounts, then select a Newsgroup account and choose Set
as Default.

Once you have a Newsgroup account set as default the message rules be apply
able again.
