Sign in --- HOW?
 

Just having subscribed to microsoft newsgroups from within Windows Mail, I'm
unable to sign in. Clicking on the Sign in button gets no response. When
posting it asks me if I want to sign in and when I click on YES, nothing
happens.
I would rather access newsgroups inside IE7 but there I'm not able to reply
at all. Is there a connection?

I had no trouble connecting through Windows Mail, possibly because I have
years of experience dealing with newsgroups. Did you enter a name and
an email address (not necessarily a correct email address, but not one
belonging to someone else) under your Microsoft Communities account
before you tried to sign in? It doesn't require a password. You can always
add .invalid to the end of an email address to make sure it won't reach
anyone else.

In Windows Mail

ToolsAccountsmsnews.microsoft.comProperties
Under the Server tab make sure "This server requires me to logon" is
unticked.

OK
Close

You need a MS Passport, (windows live ID), to do anything other than read
the online version of the newsgroups.
In WM you can add the PP details at toolsaccountsMS news account W.L.I/D.

To stop WM asking you to sign in go to toolsoptionsgeneraldisable "use
newsgroup rating feature"apply/ok

You are probably talking about the Communities sign-in feature, which
is optional. Most people turn it off because it is buggy:
Tools, Options, under General, uncheck "Use newsgroups message
rating features."

OK, powered down and restarted the puter and I can now sign in.
Restarting often solves a lot of problems and I should have tried this
first.
