Getting a News Reader to work; in Vista, things worked fine XP

[Condry]

I have a new Vista 64 system, but I cannot get news to work correctly.
Everthing used to work on Windows XP Professional just fine; the only change
is the new system with Vista.

I normally use the news tool NewsBin, so I downloaded the Vista 64 version.
I kept getting authenicticaion errors and no connections. Here we tested my
login, password and their ISP address using Telnet and it worked fine.

I tried using the Outlook 2007 News, setting up the same server. The
behavior is strange. Looks like the server looks setup fine with the "This
server requires me to login" checked and the correct ISP login/password
(checking for basic errors like a space etc.). Instead connected to the
newsserver I get a request for user/password. I even tried to type in the
correct user/password but that did not work either, always getting a 480
error. After that it erases my login/password in the server information.

Any idea why my user/password is not already there? and why it erases the
server data?

Anyone tried NewsBin on Vista 64 and got it to work ok?

Vista comes with the Windows Mail program which includes a news reader
function.

Outlook doesn't do newsgroups directly. It XP it hooks into the Outlook
Express news function. In Vista I expect that it hooks into the Windows
Mail program news function.

For help with the Vista Windows Mail (WM) program, use this Newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail

You can also get to the newsgroup via this web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx
There select Windows Vista, then Windows Mail.

Or you could try windows live mail for rss or even use IE itself to view the
rss feeds.
