Click on the Public Folders icon located on the Outlook Short-cut bar. A list of the Purchase Public Folders will appear in the folder list pane. The categories of the news and discussion sub-folders will appear in the folder view pane. Click on a folder name to view the posted messages.
Some folders contain even more sub-folders divided into more specific topics.
The posted message will appear in a separate window. An easy way to view message posts is by conversation. Viewing the messages by conversation will organize them so that replies will appear indented beneath the messages they refer to. This is also called a threaded discussion because you can see where it started and the order of the replies to the original message. After selecting a folder that contains posted messages, click on the view list drop-down arrow.
