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.

When you first open Netscape, the Browsing program opens first.  To open the Mail program, do the following:

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

 

Netscape Mail opens. 

To create new newsgroups accounts, follow these steps:

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.

Close the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings window.
