outlook express will not post to newsgroups
 

I've been using outlook express as my newsreader for some time.
Just today, when trying to post, I started getting an error message
like this:

Outlook Express could not post your message Subject ' power supply
explanation'. Account 'nntp.aioe.org' Protocol: NNTP. Server
Response: '441 Nonexistent group'. Port 119 Secure (SSL): No Server
Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9

I get a similar error message when trying to post through teranews.

I get online only through public wifi hotspots. I don't have a
service provider at home or at work, and I use aioe and teranews.

I doubt if aioe and teranews have both disappeared simultaneously,
although anything's possible.

Assuming the problem is a glitch in outlook express, can someone
suggest how I should fix it?

Just to make it clear, I tried posting to sci.electronics.basics and
other active groups. They definitely _exist_. Why does OE say
"nonexistent group"?

nntp.aioe.org has gone thru some bad times over the last few months and
at one stage was off line for 3-4 weeks. So I suspect the problem IS at
thrie end of things. They have a Help group

aioe.news.helpdesk

You can access that usually even when the main server is down or via
Google Groups. You will see a bunch of others complaining if the server
is down or groups are missing

I gave up on them and use Motzarella.org as News supplier. It's free
and runs well and fast

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...ress.ge neral
Good luck!
