I am using an offline reader that uses msnews.microsoft.com server. I
can't find the Windows 7 fourm.

Is there a new NNTP server or is MS not updating the current NNTP
server anymore?

Thanks

That's because there isn't one.


The only official MS forum is here:

http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7

Online support for Windows 7 is now forum-based and is staffed with
Microsoft Support Engineers and other professionals. There are two forums:

TechNet for IT Professionals:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w7itpro

Windows 7 Answers Forum:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7

There are no Microsoft sponsored NNTP newsgroups.

MS has not created a Win7 group in the microsoft.public.* hierarchy.

Windows Live Mail is a terrble progeam for email and does not compare to
Windows Mail, I was on ATT Tech help over 4 hours and on one could help me
set it up so, I went back to Vista and good old Windows Mail.

WLM is set up the exact same way as WM. I don't see how you could set up
one but not the other.
In fact, it's easier as it provides some of the email settings, based on the
email address you enter.

Unfortunately, tech's at ATT in India could not come with an answer and YES
I started by inputting same as WM with negative results - if you can provide
me with the actual steps it would be great.

You should download / convert to Windows Live Mail (free) or some other
email handler prior to switching to Windows 7. A couple of good forums for
Windows 7 include:
http://windows7forums.com/
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/w7itpro/

Bellsouth customers now must use the AT&T mail system. Try this link for
assistance with the new setup:
