An introduction to Thunderbird, part 8
Newsgroups
I've got a lot of questions about when/if Thunderbird will have a newsgroup option, the answer is simple, it's already there. :) In this article i will try to show you how to set up such an account.
First, go Tools > Account Settings > Add Account..., and you will get this window:
Choose "Newsgroup" and press "Finish"
Fill in your e-mail address and the name you want displayed, when this is done press "next".
Now you need to fill in the news server, now I don't know which one you want to use for this account, however, I'm going to use "news.mozilla.org".
Name this newsgroup, choose whatever you like, I'm going to use "news.mozilla.org" for this example.
Check your input, verify it by pressing "Finish". :)
You should now have a new folder under Local folders named "news.mozilla.org", highlight and rightclick on the folder and choose "subscribe". Now it's really up to you what you want. :) Double click, or highlight and press "Subscribe" to activate.
Adjust and choose what suits you. Ready to go. :) Enjoy.
