Windows mail is the new name for Outlook Express 7, its basically a facelift for Vista.:)

Why not?
Outlook 2007 works fine on Vista?

Can it do Newsgroups because thats what he needs it for?

Dunno to be honest. I'd hazard a guess at yes.
I installed it on a client's machine and it was working as a mail client. I presume there's no problems with NG's?
I can't see why there would be.

I keep forgetting to hassle Ian Hagon to get new screengrabs showing the virginmedia server urls.
I've been meaning to do it for the last couple of weeks!
Must be the short-term memory, erm, memory... What was I saying?

I *will* remember tomorrow.

Of course it works; we're talking about newsgroups.

Dunno to be honest. I'd hazard a guess at yes.

I can't see why there would be.

It works with mail so it must work with newsgroups? Hmmm.

QED? QED?! It was demonstrated in the first post I made and rebutted by you, poorly, twice. Learn to read and get your facts straight before giving totally unhelpful information :rolleyes:.

No it wasn't. You simply said "You Can't use Outlook".
Tali explained it, not you.

Calm down, have a drinky milk.
Bedtime soon.

Anyone with a brain and eyes could have realised that I was referring to newsgroups, given the OP's question. I guess sometimes you have to spell it out to people.:dunce:

Initially I wasn't insulting Robbie. You knew what I meant.
I never said anything derogatory or used rolling eyes when I posted asking why Outlook wouldn't work. Your reply was a dressing down that wasn't necessary.

This is just stupid bickering now - have your last word if you must.
You've made yourself look a right idiot.
