Help setting up Thunderbird

[charlie]

Thanks. I think I have it all set now.

Odd - I didn't have a problem with newsgroups.

The only problem I encountered with TB was a direct result of port
blocking by my IP. The IP blocks the standard send port, except for it's
own Email server.
My options were to receive directly from any Email accounts and send
only from or thru the IP Email server, use non standard send ports (if
available), or setup a strange double login type of access that uses the
IP send mail server, but logs in to it using it's login, then send using
the non IP email server login and email address.

Somewhere on the TB website, notes, etc. were instructions on how to
setup manually to do this.

I have installed TB and am trying to configure for newsgroups but I
can't seem to get it right. I am at Server Settings and seem to have
everything right but I see no place to enter my password. In the
server name window I have entered news60.forteinc.com with port 119.
Security settings connection security is set to None but something is
obviously wrong. Can anyone offer some assistance please.

Thanks.

For other than the Mozilla groups: try connecting (e. g. to collect a
list of 'groups) to the server you've chosen (assuming it's a valid one)
anyway; a box should pop up asking you for a password (with a "remember"
tickbox).
