So my server is news.eternal-september.org and the port is the default NNTP (119) Hi Duane. I just got Eternal September. Now how do I tell it that I want to subscribe to this newsgroup? Do I just type in rec.bicycles.tech? Thanks atgain. Cheers I can't find where it asks for the password Eternal September sent. |

I use both, because of certain limitations related to different computers and different locations. Thunderbird's user interface is light years better. I would agree, TB has had it's ups and downs but these days it does what it sez on the tin. |

So my server is news.eternal-september.org and the port is the default NNTP (119) Thanks Duane. I thought I just needed to download Thunderbird. I'll download that other program too. Cheers If you already have Thunderbird you don't have to do anything on your end. Just create a new Thunderbird account ( File, New). But you must have a source for the messages that you will download so you must have a news server account to furnish them. The simplest is to go to Eternal-September of perhaps Albasani and register - it is free - than you have a server address and a user name and password to configure Thunderbird's new account. But honestly it is much better to use a news group specific application like Agent (there are others), or at least it seems simpler to me :-) -- cheers, John B. eeeez a lotta bird here... why are yawl using this here Thunderbird and not straight Google? Because you can't killfile Trolls via Google Groups. Cheers spring is here be of good cheer doahn be a dork unless you live in New York |
