Angela,

You will need to add a news option to your "view" menu within MS Outlook.

There is a microsoft help page which describes how to do it here

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902929/en-us

Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

It does work because that is what I use.

When I right click on Newsgroup, I get three options
Tool Bar
Views Bar
Customise

But no properties........

I have found an option called settings. This offers:
Don't synchronise
All messages
New messages
Headers only

But if I choose 'all messages' it will download about 2400, and I
connect
via a mobile 'phone, so I can't do that.

I have tried going to Google and looking at the old messages, but I
can't
post there, unless I type in my registration details.....which I've
forgotten!


Recently I installed Outlook 2000 on to the computer. I still have
Outlook
Express, but only use it for accessing newsgroups, well actually this is
the
only newsgroup I read. Is it easy to set up the newsgroup on Outlook so
that
I don't need to use Outlook Express again?

Very likely the problem is that OE's default setting shows you
*unread* messages only. There is an option somewhere to change that
to
"all messages". I can't be more precise, because I don't use it. You
can also adjust the length of time downloaded messages are kept on
your machine; if they are no longer there, you can download (again)
all messages still available on the server.

Ah, Right click on the newsgroup, select properties, Local File. You
can
then delete the lot, and then click Reset - OE will then get all
messages
from the news server next time you sync. Right click will also allow a
change of sync settings (all mess, new mess, or headers)
