A more complex workaround, not involving deleting the news account, is composed of the following steps: a) Open about:config b) type nntp in the search box c) You will see perhaps a half a dozen lines (exact number depends on your setup), one or two of which begin by mail.server.server followed by a number (for instance, mail.server.server5) Note this number, you will need it below.
