Oh don't worry... it'll only delete the files in the root directory. He

I'm discovering that Windows Mail isn't as bad as "advertised".
It just takes a little tinkering. I think I'll hang onto it for awhile.
It would be nice if MS didn't assume that everyone was totally familiar with
their products.

If it is an older version, such as 2010, OK. If it is the latest
version, it really sucks as a newsreader. I hated it so much I
started using Agent.
You can't delete news messages. Do you mean to mark them as "all
read"? If so, the present screen can be marked by using Control A
keys. If you mean the 10,000 messages it says exist? Right click and
chick on "catch up"

Hi, I have an XP machine and a Laptop with Win7 Ultimate. I have the
disks for XP (licenced) so I can do anything I want. If someone would
tell me what I need to do maybe I can get you a copy of Outlook
Express. It's installed on my XP machine but I don't use it. I'm using
XanaNews 1.18.1.6. It's free and does what I want. Jim in ID not to be
confused with Jim in NC :>)

Don't know why you would want to delete all messages but....
Right click on the group and select properties, then the "local file"
tab.
The newsreader is good and compact but a lot of the the features are
not for the give up quick crowd and hard to find.

Windows 7 should run Outlook Express just fine. The problem is getting
an installable copy of Outlook Express, which was never available as a
standalone product.
One solution if you have Windows 7 Pro, Enterprise, or Ultimate, is to
install XP mode, which gives you a full copy of XP including Outlook
Express running in a virtual machine.

Outlook is. Outlook Express isn't. Outlook doesn't have a newsreader
built in--to use it for a newsreader you have to buy a third-party add-
in.

You can try other email clients, like Farte Agent but it causes a lot
of confusion and fights online due to lack of tolerance and rigid
threading format requirements.

I'll just add my 2 cents.
I still use Eudora 7.1.0.9 for email. Been using it since version 2 or 3.
The latest one is free, and with 1 or 2 tweaks, it works beautifully,
except if you use Chinese, Cyrillic , Hebrew or some other alphabet totally
different from US.
newsgroup: comp.mail.eudora.ms-windows
I use Xnews for news.

I used OE for years. It was free and did everything I ever wanted.
Live as OK in the older version, similar to OE. When MS upgraded to
the 2011 version, it went to crap for various reasons. I was able to
go back to the older version, but when my hard drive burped, I had to
re-install and use the newer version.
While Agent is OK, I'd rather be driving my old Chevette. The seat was
well worn in, I guess.

Click on the tab that says "home". There you will find "catch up". IMHO,
Outlook Express was far better. Rather than get used to this POS, get
something better.

That's like saying you hated your basic Chevy Chevette so much you
upgraded to a Rolls Royce.
About a year ago, I purchased Agent 6 for about $30 and haven't looked
back. It does everything I could want and more.

Toss it. Use Thunderbird instead, or any other free newsreader. Back
when I used Windoze I used Gravity or Free Agent, but that was a long
time ago.

Me too. I was 18 when my dad bought his Chevette. Sure would like to
be 18 again, (with current knowledge and attitude of course). I'd
start off by saving my money to invest in Microsoft instead of
spending it on illicit beer.
