Hello,

I use Win7 + Office2007.
I noticed that accessing newsgroups via Outlook2007 option was gone. I also
realized that older mail client is not suuporetd by Windows7.
Any recommendations how to access newsgroups (either directly from OL2007 or
OS) ?

There isn't much you can do without a 3rd party program. You can use OE in
a virtual XP environment or you can download Windows Live mail if you can
stand it. Microsoft seems to be fading away from NNTP support. They've
ceased to recognize its value, if they ever did.

Steve,

Thanks. I prefer not using vitualization. Is Windows Live mail downable? Is
there any freeware email client that may support newgroup ?

WLM is part of the Live essentials package. I think its available via
Windows Update as an optional download.
