When I'm at work, the only access I have to newsgroups is Google Groups. I have tried setting up the news server in OE by putting my user name and password for the ISP I use at home. This always returns an access denied error. They won't set up the ISP we use at work for some reason. Google Groups are nice. The problem is at least a 6 hour or more lag before you can view any post. Are there any quicker methods when you're away from home? Thanks, Brett

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. I have a new Hotmail account. I want to read and post to newsgroups from the Hotmail account. I want to use Outlook Express as the newsreader.

Moving or Backing Up Contacts
I'm not new to Outlook Express, but this simple thing has me stumped. I want to transfer (export) my contact list or address book to another computer. Both machines use W2k and OE6. I've looked through the help index and still don't get it. When doing the same thing with Favorites under IE6, you get a target to export to the file to, and can then retrieve it to import onto another machine. The export function for OE6 just says it "exported" it but not in any particular form or to any particular location. How do I do this? If I remember correctly, there is a .wab file that contains the contact info, but I'm not sure about that approach. -- Magnusfarce

Frank Saunders, MS-MVP IE/OE < XXXX@XXXXX.COM > did some thinking and
came up with these words:
Probably won't work while "at work" as the company probable denies access to
the required port for news.

"Tom Koch" < XXXX@XXXXX.COM > wrote in It isn't the MS news groups I'm wanting to read. I can already do that from work. It's the other non MS groups. Those provided by your ISP. For example, rec.travel, alt.coffee, misc.legal, alt.health, etc. Thanks, Brett

Does your company's ISP offer newsgroups? You won't be able to use your home ISP's newsgroups unless you're connected to that ISP at work. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE) Posting and You http://www.**--****.com/
