Setting Up Newsgroup Hierarchies

If you want to make an existing public folder tree into a hierarchy of newsgroup public folders, you can designate a top-level newsgroup public folder as a hierarchy parent. If the top-level newsgroup public folder doesn't already have a newsgroup name, you can specify one that is used to generate newsgroup names for all subfolders in the hierarchy. You can also remove the newsgroup properties from a public folder hierarchy.

Note   Newsgroups that are included in the Internet News public folder by default, such as the comp and rec hierarchies, are not listed in the newsgroup hierarchy unless you add them to the list.
