microsoft.public.outlook
Microsoft Office Outlook newsgroup.
One of the larger rooms on Microsoft’s own public news server, covering Outlook as a mail, calendar and contacts client: profiles and data files, connectivity to Exchange, rules, forms and the perennial mystery of a mailbox that would not open.
The microsoft.public.* hierarchy and its 2010 retirement are described on this directory’s Microsoft branch page.
