Outlook is NOT an NNTP (network news transfer protocol) client. Outlook
does NOT provide support for usenet (aka newsgroups). Outlook Express
is the NNTP client. Outlook calls Outlook Express when you want to use
usenet.

The reasons the newsgroups comes up quickly when using the web interface
(aka CDO for Microsoft's "communities") is that NOTHING is getting
downloaded. You are being presented with a web page, not a downloaded
list of headers.

If you want more features than are available with CDO, like marking
threads to watch, flagging those that are your posts, rules for messages
(limiting the view by how many days old, killfilling some posters,
coloring your messages, etc.), changing views, reading the posts
offline, and so on, then you need to use a real NNTP client, like OE,
Forte, or whatever.
