STrange WLM probkem

10. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

I can no longer get to my newsgroups because Live Mail says it cannot connect to the internet, possibly due to antivirus program or firewall.  I turned off anti virus and still can't connect.   I checked firewall and Live Mail is being given permission to connect.  Also, Live Mail  DOES download my email;  it is only the newsgroups that are causing problems.  This occurred with Microsoft newsgroups as well as my other newsgroup.  How can I correct this?  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no difference.  I also created a new user account and I still have the problem with that account.  Please help.  I don't want to reinstall my entire OS if possible.


I have no problem on my laptop connecting with WLM and have similar settings on both,


Thanks.


(I have corrected this problem).  I was notified of several replies, but none showed up when  I went to the post, so I thought I would just edit to thank everyone.  A reply to my next post was the answer.  I had entered the port number incorrectly. )

Windows Live 2009 connect to the internet

Windows Live 2009 is on my computer and I use it to read newsgroups with. Here is the error message I am getting: 

Windows Live Mail cannot connect to the Internet, possibly because an antivirus or firewall program won't allow it. Make sure any antivirus or firewall programs on your computer allow Window Live Mail (wlmail.exe) to access the Internet. 

Using the help feature, I might opt to get all over 170 updates, however, I am afraid that If I take the updates, I will end up with the new version of Windows live that no longer has the newsgroups.

Can you recommend a solution? Is there another newsgroup reader for example I could download somewhere? (Ideally for free, but quality is vital as these are classroom back ups). 

Windows live mail missing newsgroups

I lost all my data on my entire computer because the repair man had to do a complete restoration. Thank goodness I have Carbonite, and that back up is re-populating my computer. 

However, unlike the person above, my issue is with Windows Live. I signed in and nothing is there. I did sign in as recently as a a few weeks ago, right before winter break ( I teach online and these newsgroups were actual classes I was teaching). 

I thought Windows live was all web based, and so I would expect my newsgroups to be there. 

1. How do I access the newsgroups on the internet, shouldn't they be there?
2. What is the relationship between my pc and the windows live application account? 

Download more than 300 headers in Newsgroups?

I'm running WLM and Windows 8. In the Newsgroups folder it will only download 300 headers at a time; there used to be an option to change this (I used to have it set at 999 headers) but I cannot find where to alter this. The only option seems to be to click the 'get next 300 headers' button but I'd like to download up to 999 at a single go.

On one of the newsgroups I subscribe to, there is a member who sends a lot of 'off topic' messages, but they are always properly identified in the subject line with an "OT:" Is there way to filter out any messages that contain just the 'OT:' in the subject line?

Problem with Newsgroups in Windows Live mail

Hi

 

I use WLM on a W7 x64 PC.

 

I have a recent problem with Newsgroups in WLM, it use to show thread all grouped under one header and I clicked on the + sign

beside the header to get the posts to expand and show separately, the click on the - sign to get the thread to close up again.

 

Where do I go to get the threads to show under one header again.

 

cheers

 

Daniel
