G'Day

Should be fairly easy: open Outlook Express, select menu item 'Tools' go
down to 'Accounts'.  In the "Internet Accounts" dialogue box click on the
'Add>' button, then select 'News', enter a display name for yourself, click
Next, enter your email address, click Next, enter the News Server Name, in
this case "news.lugnet.com", click 'Finish'.  You should be back at the
"Internet Accounts" dialogue box you started out with, now you need to click
on the "Properties" button.  In the Properties dialogue box click on the
last tab labeled "Advanced", then under "Server Port Number" in the
"News(NNTP): box enter 1119, click on 'OK', click on 'Close' and Outlook
should prompt you to download News Groups from the LUGNET server.

Cheers
Oliver
Play Well !

I did searches using the search button, I browsed around the webpage for
half an
hour trying to figure this out, but there is no obvious link anywhere to
help me
out with this.

I've always posted with Outlook Express, I had it configured so I could
read the
newsgroup on there.  But I reinstalled Windows last weekend, and I can't
figure
out at all how to set it back up so I can read/post through Outlook.

Does anyone know where the page is that explains how to set it up, or know
how
to set it up?

(...) Thanks, Oliver!! I knew it was probably something easy, I just couldn't for the life of me remember how to do it since it's been years since I set it up. :) Iain (20 years ago, 6-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
