Using Task Sceduler with OL2000/OE 5.01
Try Net Launch for the sceduled connection and launch of OE from:
http://www.blackcastlesoft.com/
An OE group should be able to help you with the OE synch. Try:
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress (for OE4)
microsoft.public.windows.internetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress (for OE5)
Your question should be addressed by those more experienced with OE issues.
If those News groups are not carried by the server you are currently using
then try the
msnews.microsoft.com server( Microsoft's Public News Server).
