Software > Email > Thunderbird > Reading Newsgroups Note: You can only use Columbia's news server if you are directly connected to the Columbia network or dialed in to Columbia's modem pool. If you connect to the Internet using a commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP), you must use the ISP's news server. Choose Account Settings from the Tools menu. Click the Add Account button. The New Account Setup Wizard will appear. Click Newsgroup account and click Next. Fill in your name and email address on the Identity screen. Click Next. Fill in news.columbia.edu for the Newsgroup Server on the Server Information screen, and click Next. You can enter a name of your choice on the Account Name screen. In the example, we have left it as the server name, news.columbia.edu. Click Next. A confirmation screen will appear. Click Finish if all the information is correct, or Back if you need to go back and correct anything. You will now see your newsgroup account in the account list. In the example it appears as news.columbia.edu, the name we assigned the newsgroup account. Yours will appear with whatever name you assigned. « Back to Thunderbird Home Page
