Netscape 7.0 Newsgroups Setup
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 Window 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 = [email protected]
Click Next to continue.
Newsgroup Server = news.dslextreme.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.
To log into the news server you will need your email address and password
username = your [email protected]
Password = your email password
