news server, subscribing to
a newsgroup, posting a
question, and reading the responses is documented below.
Also below are tips on how to effectively use the
Outlook Express program to quickly find answers to your
questions. The screen shots apply to version 6 of
the program. Depending on the version of the
program you are using (or if you are using a different
program), the display and the dialog boxes may look
different. However, the concepts and necessary
steps will remain the same.

In all fairness, I
should point out that I, myself, don't use the program,
preferring the power of
MicroPlanet Gravity. While it is now free, it
can be a bit intimidating at first. Another
popular program is Agent, or its freeware version, Free
Agent. Of course, the benefit with Outlook Express
(OE) is that it is bundled with Internet Explorer.
Note that Outlook and Outlook
Express are two very different programs. It's
unfortunate that Microsoft named two programs with
different capabilities and different markets so
similarly. |
