Default Newsgroups

I have inherited this pc and wish to access other newsgroups. How do I do
this - ie pop2,3,?????


If in doubt, ask your ISP which news servers it carries.
E.g. my regular ISP carries none (users have to use
Google Groups) but some are publicly accessible,
e.g. msnews.microsoft.com, corel newsgroups etc.
(In OE) you use / Tools / Accounts / News / Add
to create a new account for each news server. The
default assignment for the NNTP server usually
works OK. (POP servers are for personal email.)
