To subscribe to a newsgroup

The benefit of subscribing is that the newsgroup is included in your Folders list for easy access. You can subscribe to a newsgroup in any of the following ways:

• When you add a news server, Outlook Express prompts you to subscribe to newsgroups on that server.

• Click a news server name in your Folders list, and then click the Newsgroups button. Select the newsgroup that you want to subscribe to, and then click the Subscribe button. You can also unsubscribe here.

  Note: When you double-click a name in the Newsgroup list, a subscription is automatically generated.

• When you view a newsgroup without subscribing to it (see Related Topic below), its name appears in your Folders list. Right-click the name and then click Subscribe.

Tips

• To view a newsgroup you subscribe to, click it in the Folders list.

• To cancel your subscription to a newsgroup, click the Newsgroups button, click the Subscribed tab, select the group you want, and then click the Unsubscribe button. You can also right-click the newsgroup in your Folders list and then click Unsubscribe.
