DOWNLOADING NEWSGROUPS

In most situations, outlook express will automatically download newsgroup names from your news server as soon as you establish the connection to that server. But if, for whatever reason, you were unable to download newsgroup or if you want to reload newsgroup to see if there are any new ones, follow these steps to update your list of newsgroup manually:


1   1.    In the outlook express folders list, click the name of your news server and          then click newsgroup button on the outlook tool bar. The newsgroup            subscription dialog box appears.


2.       To update your list of newsgroups, click the reset button.

                It might take several minutes to download all the newsgroup names, so be        patient. When the download is complete, you should see the names of newsgroup listed in the large white area of the newsgroup subscription dialog box .
