How to Participate in Online Newsgroups What are newsgroups? How to Set Up a Newsgroup Account in Outlook Express? How to find newsgroups of interest in Outlook Express? How to subscribe to a newsgroup? How to Read Newsgroup Messages? What are newsgroups? A newsgroup is a collection of messages posted by individuals to a news server (a computer that can host thousands of newsgroups). You can find newsgroups on practically any subject. Although some newsgroups are moderated, most are not. Moderated newsgroups are "owned" by someone who reviews the postings, can answer questions, delete inappropriate messages, and so forth. Anyone can post messages to a newsgroup. Newsgroups do not require any kind of membership or joining fees. To use newsgroups in Outlook Express, your Internet service provider (ISP) must offer links to one or more news servers. After you set up an account for each server you want in Outlook Express, you can read and post messages in any of the newsgroups stored on that news server. When you find a newsgroup you like, you can subscribe to it so that it is displayed in your Outlook Express Folders list. Subscribing provides easy access to your favorite newsgroups, eliminating the need to scroll through the long list on the server each time you want to visit a favorite newsgroup. Newsgroups can contain thousands of messages, which can be time-consuming to sort through. Outlook Express has a variety of features that make it easier to find the information you want in newsgroups. How to Set Up a Newsgroup Account in Outlook Express: To add a newsgroup account, you'll need the following information from your Internet service provider (ISP) or local area network (LAN) administrator: For a newsgroup account, you'll need to know the name of the news server you want to connect to and, if required, your email account name and password. On the Tools menu, click Accounts. In the Internet Accounts dialog box, click Add. Select either "News" to open the Internet Connection Wizard, and then follow the instructions to establish a connection with an e-mail or news server. Note! Each user can create multiple e-mail or newsgroup accounts by repeating the procedure above for each account. To find newsgroups of interest in Outlook Express: To find newsgroups of interest to you, you can search through a news server to find specific words in newsgroup names. In the Folders list, click a server name, and then click "Newsgroups". In the Display newsgroups which contain box, type the words you want to search for. Note! If you cannot find a specific newsgroup in the list, your news server might not carry that newsgroup. How to subscribe to a newsgroup The benefit of subscribing is that the newsgroup is included in your Folders list for easy access. You can subscribe to a newsgroup in any of the following ways: When you add a news server, Outlook Express prompts you to subscribe to newsgroups on that server. Click a news server name in your Folders list, and then click "Newsgroups". Select the newsgroup that you want to subscribe to, and then click "Subscribe". You can also unsubscribe here. When you double-click a name in the Newsgroup list, a subscription is automatically generated. Notes! When you view a newsgroup without subscribing to it, its name appears in your Folders list. Right-click the name and then click Subscribe. To view a newsgroup you subscribe to, click its name in the Folders list. To cancel your subscription to a newsgroup, click "Newsgroups", click the "Subscribed" tab, select the group you want, and then click "Unsubscribe". You can also right-click the newsgroup in your Folders list and then click "Unsubscribe". How to Read Newsgroup Messages Go to a newsgroup and look through the message list for a message you want to read (you may need to scroll). To view the message in the preview pane, click the message once. To view the message in a separate window, double-click the message in the message list. Note! To display or change the preview pane, on the View menu, click "Layout", and then in the Preview pane area, select the options you want.
