I used to read my favorite NG in Outlook XP. Is it still possible in the
office 2007 edition?

No you didn't, unless you has a third-party app that added NNTP to Outlook.
Outlook uses Outlook Express with a "Microsoft Outlook Newsreader" skin to
read newsgroups.

Use OE (since that's what you probably were using anyway) or some newsreader
of your choice, like Forté Agent.

how the land lies now? i read that windows vista has a new version of
outlook, in the packet "windows mail" that is not "hardlinked" to internet
explorer. is it possible to use it in windows XP? well, this question has
such an origin:
somehow i don't have outlook express on my PC, i tried to download it and
install, but the installer said that i have too new version of internet
explorer, i.e. 7th.

is there a way to have a native newsreader now in winXP? i tried many agents
but only outlook express i consider usable.

thanks.

Windows Vista contains WIndows Mail, which is the replacement for Outlook
Express. Outlook has never been "hardlinked" to IE. Outlook Express,
however, is, and so is Windows Mail.

Outlook Express is the ONLY native newsreader in Windows XP. Windows Mail
is the ONLY native newsreader in Vista. Outlook has NEVER need able to read
mail without help (from either OE or WM or an NNTP add-in that you buy).

YES, yes, i know it, i meant outlook express everywhere in my post. but due
to the news i read windows mail isn't hardlinked, well, that doesn't matter
really.

I wonder if there is or there will be a newer version of express for windows
XP, that means: can we download now or in the future windows mail as a
separate product? to use it under XP. coz because of internet explorer 7 i
can't install express repetitively now.

Outlook Express V6.0.2900.2180 is, I think, the last version of Outlook
Express. Every Windows XP installation comes with a release of Outlook
Express V6 so there's nothing you need to deploy. Whether you have IE 6 or
IE7, you'll also have OE.

Windows Live Mail might suit you as an add-in. See

NOPE! i said i have not OE, it was deleted or something and i can't
reinstall it because installer says IE is too new. this is why I'm asking: is
or will there be a possibility to install Windows Mail on Windows XP.

Only you could have deleted OE. In Control Panel's "Add or Remove
Programs," select "Add/Remove Windows Components." Scroll until you see
"Outlook Express". If it's unchecked, check it and click Next, then Finish.
If it's already checked, uncheck it, click Next, then Finish. Reboot, then
go back and readd it.

I don't believe there is any independent install package for Windows Mail on
any platform. You could try Windows Mail Live, as I suggested, however.

okay, thanks. kinda bad news, why not release windows mail? it seems it's
just a way to make people buy Vista. it's not fair, vista is not a good OS.
