Does *anyone* here get their messages through Google Groups and have them digested to their email?

Ever since I got this new email program (Outlook) at work, I haven't gotten any digests from Google. I tried resubscribing with my Yahoo addy but they're not coming there, either. :( I'm not sure what's going on or who to contact. I have a feeling that the IT guy at work wouldn't be inclined to give me much help. He's kind of an ... well, I don't like to use "those" words!

I know there's eternal sept. (or whatever it is) but if I'm not getting it to either of these addies, would they come through that?

Help!

You could ask the IT guy if there are some new firewalls that went into place. Can you just use Outlook and subscribe directly - is the newsreader function working? Sometimes there are firewalls that won't let you get to anything that has the free kind of mail service - such as Google groups or Yahoo. DH has that issue at work, so has to check his Yahoo (hockey stuff) mail via his kinda smart phone.

Maybe - if it's a firewall issue - you might be able to subscribe to eternal september and then just read it thru Outlook. Essentially I do that at home

- using Entourage (similar to Outlook) in the Newsgroups portions, with the server selection being eternal september, and then subscribing thru eternal-september.

Well, that was my try.

Thanks for at least trying! :)

I haven't talked to our IT person, yet. He's pretty pathetic and doesn't seem to want to help with anything that's not work-related (and sometimes not even those, either!). I *really* miss our previous guru...he was *great* and is now working for the CIA in your neck of the woods (D.C)!

I may get desperate enough to do it, though!
