.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / March 2008Configure Outlook Express for MSDN subscriptions?
Hello, I'm try to configure outlook express for the MSDN subscription and the link does not work on how to configure it. Step 2: Choose and configure your Newsgroup Client The NNTP Newsreader link does not seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks, Schneider > I'm try to configure outlook express for the MSDN subscription and the > link > does not work on how to configure it. > > Step 2: Choose and configure your Newsgroup Client > The NNTP Newsreader link does not seem to work. You seem to have left out Step 1: "post your message to a newsgroup pertaining to the configuration and use of Outlook Express". For example, one with the words "outlook" and "express" in the name I appreciate that you may be trying to use OE as a newsreader to access this newsgroup, but even so...there are more appropriate forums for your question. When you do post your question to that more appropriate forum, you may want to consider providing more details than what you've shared here. For example, what links are you talking about? What are they exactly? What have you tried so far? Why hasn't it worked? That sort of thing. Pete First this question is specific for MSDN subscriptions also, not just Out Look Express. I am already using the newsgroups (apparently). If I knew where to post I would, and yes I looked. I'm not some idiot asking how to configure my IPOD! I did not post the link because they seem specific to my profile, but here is one. https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/manage/default.aspx Then under Managed Newsgroups. There is 2 steps. If some one knows a better place to post, I will try it.

For the record, when you post here, most of the people reading your post will not have access to your "profile" (I'm assuming you're talking about something related to your MSDN subscription). This is a public newsgroup, accessible by a wide variety of people, most of whom are not Microsoft-paid, never mind MSDN support staff. > https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/manage/default.aspx That URL doesn't look very specific to anyone's profile. You do have to login with your MSDN-subscribed Live account to access the link's content, but that's a different matter. The content there is a standard form; other than some slight variation that might occur according to your exact subscription, anyone who can access the page is likely to see the same thing. You also didn't post the link that's actually giving you problems, but by combining your two posts, I was able to figure out which link you're trying to click. Unfortunately, I still don't understand what's giving you trouble. Given the context, the link you're trying to click doesn't appear to me that it would take you anywhere other than a page that describes one or more NNTP newsreaders. What else did you expect from the link? I agree that it should work, but the fact that it doesn't work doesn't seem to me to be something that should be an impediment to using the newsgroups (especially if you've already settled on Outlook Express). > Then under Managed Newsgroups. There is 2 steps. It seems to me that that page, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/aa974230.aspx, provides a complete list of the managed newsgroups, as well as all the configuration information you need for each newsgroup. The "news:" link next to the name of each newsgroup includes the Microsoft NNTP server that you can use to access the newsgroup, as well as the newsgroup name. Of course, you don't actually need to use Microsoft's news server. I access this newsgroup via my own ISP's news server, and it works fine. In either case, assuming you know how to set Outlook Express for a specific news server and newsgroup, then all the information you need is on the page at the link I provided above (and which you referenced in your posts). My understanding is that as long as you've registered the correct "no spam" email address with Microsoft, then when you post to one of the managed newsgroups using that email address, Microsoft will respond to your post as appropriate for your MSDN subscription. Other than that, you just use the newsgroups like you'd use any other newsgroup. > If some one knows a better place to post, I will try it. If the above does not clear things up for you, you may want to try contacting MSDN product support directly. For example, by using the "Online Concierge Chat" link on your MSDN subscription management page. Pete >> First this question is specific for MSDN subscriptions also, not just Out >> Look Express.

Ok, had no idea what was there. Thought maybe there was more details. Also my message headers say by "Outlook Epress". > My understanding is that as long as you've registered the correct "no > spam" email address with Microsoft, then when you post to one of the > managed newsgroups using that email address, Microsoft will respond to > your post as appropriate for your MSDN subscription.

Would still like a more specific details. >> If some one knows a better place to post, I will try it. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Pete Yes, working on this now. Thanks, Schneider Here are the details: http://blogs.msdn.com/msdnts/pages/postingAlias.aspx Thanks, Schneider >>> First this question is specific for MSDN subscriptions also, not just >>> Out [quoted text clipped - 74 lines] > Thanks, > Schneider Hi Schneider, Please refer to the following document on how to access Microsoft MSDN newgroup using Outlook Express: 'Internet Explorer Newsgroup Setup Instructions' http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/support/newsgroups/howto.mspx If you encounter the problem that the News(NNTP) Server is not available, it is usually due to network issue. You can try to synchronize the newsgroups you have subscribed later. Hope this helps. If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
