Tools | Accounts | News | Properties | Advanced

Your error message indicates you are using port 563 and using a secure
connection. Normally, NNTP uses port 119 and does not require a secure
connection, so check that with them.

If its still not working, you can enable a log file under Tools | Options |
Maintenance for NNTP and that may help determine the problem origin.

How do I make sure the ports are set correctly? I have gone through
everything with tech support over the newsgroup, according to them the
accounts are set up like they should be.

check your server names and ports and verify that the news account values
under Tools | Accounts | News | Properties are correct. Can you read
messages on that server? If so, then make sure you have the ports set
correctly according to the System Adminstrator.
