MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / May 2008How to read Netnews using Outlook
I am trying to read netnews using Outlook. When I use Outlook Express, it also download's email. I do not want to have my email download to any program except Outlooks How can I set Outlook to read netnews? Dom >I am trying to read netnews using Outlook.

In Outlook do Go-News (if it's not there, add it from the Customization function). That will call Outlook Express in Newsreader mode, and it won't download any email. BTW, if you don't use OE for email, why have you got an email account in OE? Remove it! Aside from Gordon's good response... What version of Outlook are you using? There are some third-party utilities you can get to add-into Outlook that will do NNTP reading. Some are good, some not-so-much. They tend to be resource hogs though, so I've shied away from them. Better to just use Outlook Express in /newsonly mode for it, in my opinion.  Signature-Ben- Ben M.

The list of addins is here: http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/news.htm but OE is much better for managing a lot of accounts or servers and the new live mail client (it will eventually replace OE) offers spell check as you type.
