Ryan,

I don't believe it works like that. To use Outlook Express your ISP must
host the newsgroups and you access them via your ISP's news server.

If you have Windows Mail the the server is

msnews.microsoft.com

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

No problem to set up an account in Outlook Express with
'msnews.microsoft.com' as the server.
