OE 6.0 XP - keeps asking for signon info to get to newsgroups
 

Hello Frank. I negected to tell you that I can get my email correctly, only
newsgroups problem. I followed the instructions and deleted the Protected
storage system provider. This was reloaded when OE was restarted, same
problem. I also removed the newsgroup account, and reentered the information.
Same problem.

Hi Bob,

It can be difficult getting accurate information from support personnel.
They almost always assume there isn't a problem on their end. It might help
in finding an answer to know what news server you are attempting to use.
Someone reading this might have direct knowledge or a search of the Web
might lead to others experiencing the problem.

Sometimes a typo in the required authentication information can be difficult
to spot -- not to suggest this is the cause of your issue, but has happened
to me.
