Outlook 2007 still does not support newsgroup?
Hi,
I did some research on the net and is it true that Outlook 2007 still does not support newsgroup? With all the technologies available, why MS insists us to use two programs for daily task? Is it so hard for it to understand that many of us wish to use only one program? |

I don't see what is wrong with the OLX newsgroup viewer. So why not have it
in OL? "razor" wrote in message ... Dnia Mon, 4 Sep 2006 18:30:00 +0800, xfile napisał(a): Hi, I did some research on the net and is it true that Outlook 2007 still does not support newsgroup?

Outlook 2007 still does not support newsgroup?
As long as Outlook remains the premier client for Microsoft Exchange, a
corporate mail and collaboration server, you will never see a newsreader in Outlook. Corporations don't want their employees browsing news groups on company time and, if they do, there are methods to add them via Exchange. Just because you can't see the value of having 2 programs for news groups, does not mean there is not a reason for this. Outlook Express comes with Windows so anyone who has Windows has news groups. Office does not come with Windows, is a value added program, and should never duplicate options found in other programs, such as Outlook Express. I continually wonder at people who want to add such a heavy overhead to a program roundly accused of bloat and unnecessary features, yet still complain when Outlook is slow to load or takes an inordinate amount of time to perform any task, such as opening a new mail message. Do you really think that adding all of the crap that comes with a news reader is going to streamline Outlook and make it work faster, better, leaner?

Same here, and that's my main question.

Outlook 2007 still does not support newsgroup?
Dear Royal MS Knight,
True, many companies - small and large, don't like employees to surf on non-business-related sites on the business hours, and I fully vote for that. Are you suggesting that this newsgroup and many for others MS products are the "same" as porn sites or other non-business-related sites, and people come here are "only" for their "personal" and "home" technical questions? Just because you can't see the needs does not give you the rational thoughts that business people don't need to use Outlook for reading newsgroup. By the way, can you give a clear definition about "collaboration"? And what kind of collaboration is allowed and being classified as "business purpose" and what kinds are not? Finally, speaking of overhead. BCM is truly an overheard and with almost no integration with contacts. Do you really think adding newsgroup will increase additional overhead to Outlook and why is it not for OE? "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2007 still does not support newsgroup?
By the way, before posting this question, I read at least a dozen articles
about the review of Outlook 2007, and at least half of them have the similar question and wonder. I guess you're the only smart guy who knows why it definitely should not be added to Outlook.

In a corporate environment, if there is the necessity for Usenet access, then that can be done using Public Folders within Exchange - therefore no need for a newsreading capability in Outlook itself. |

Hi,
Thanks. So that is, Outlook is reserved for corporate environment with Exchange Server. And all other companies without Exchange Server are not within corporate environment? And why not just bundle OL with Exchange Server and leave it out from Office? "Gordon" wrote in message ... "xfile" wrote in message ...

No. But by far the VAST majority of Outlook installations ARE in a corporate, exchange-server environment. And all other companies without Exchange Server are not within corporate environment? And why not just bundle OL with Exchange Server and leave it out from Office? You have outlook Express free with Windows. I just don't see what your gripe is. |
