You don't. Grab a copy of, say, Thunderbird and use that just for
Newsgroups. If your ISP allows feeds of Newsgroups set it up through
them in Thunderbird. Otherwise sign up for one of the free ones, like
Motzarella and set up the Groups from within Thunderbird, using
Motzarella.org as the News provider. No need to use Thunderbird for
anything but the Newsgroups, if that is your fancy.


Of course you could also fire up Windows Mail and set them up in that.

Whatever you use, it will be TOOLS and then ACCOUNT settings and set up
a Newsgroup in there

You don't. Outlook does not and never has support NNTP (network news
transfer protocol). You will need to use an NNTP client (aka
newsreader) to do newsgroups.

You cannot, Outlook does not support NNTP. To manage newsgroups in
Outlook you need a third-party-tool, e. g.

Hello!
You can try a special add-in for Outlook, which allows you to work with
newsgroups in Outlook 2007 too. The add-in is called MAPILab NNTP for
Outlook, take a look at the product page: http://mapilab.com/outlook/nntp/
hope it helps you
Best regards,
Eugene
