Creating new newsgroups accounts:

Newsgroups are discussion groups.  They are similar to chats only they are necessarily in real time.  Newsgroups cover almost every subject imaginable, and therefore, appeal to a wide variety of people.  A newsgroups client functions they same way as an e-mail client.

To create new newsgroups accounts, follow these steps:

On the Toolbar, click Tasks and select Mail & Newsgroups from the menu.

 

Netscape Mail opens.

On the Toolbar, click Edit and select Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings from the menu.

 

Towards the bottom-left corner, click Add Account.

 

The Account Wizard launches.

Select Newsgroup account.

Click Next to continue.

 

Your Name  =  enter your name.

Email Address  =  enter your e-mail address (including @ispname.com).

Click Next to continue.

 

Newsgroup Server  =  enter the name address of the news server:  news.ispname.com.

Click Next to continue.

 

Account Name  =  give the account a name.  It should be intuitive, especially if you plan on making more than one account.  This will help you distinguish one from another.  In this example, I named it 'News'.

Click Next to continue.

 

Click Finish to complete the wizard.

Important:  Check over the information you've entered.  If anything is incorrect, click 'Back' and modify it.  Once you click 'Finish' you will not be able to modify the server information.  You'll need to delete and recreate the account.

Close the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings window.
