You sure you are trying the *Edit* dropdown, now, rather than the Window dropdown that was mentioned above?? I have 3 computers running Win XP and have no problem with them. I have two more running Win 7, one Home Premium on a desktop and the other Ultimate on a laptop. First, on either Win 7 computer, I cannot get anything under Edit that says Mail Newsgroup settings. I first have to select Window and then Mail Newsgroup before Edit allows me to get to Mail Newsgroup settings. Second, after getting to Mail Newsgroup Settings and clicking on Add Account, I get the 3 option screen on my desktop running Win 7 Home Premium using the Default profile. However, on the laptop running Win 7 Ultimate and a custom profile, I get the same screen as the OP. I don't get 3 choices.

However, be aware that you cannot register if you are using an att.net email. It has at least two XP newsgroups including the following: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general alt.comp.os.windows-xp Those of us in our eighties have no problem registering with and using Eternal-September so you young pups in your seventies should be able to handle it :-) Arnie: I join you as another guy in the 80's with a big difference. I have registered with Eternal-September but for some reason I am unable to add the account as a new group. Every time I select New or Add account from any menu, when I enter the E-S org name and select next my account with news.mozilla.org gets wiped out and I need to set it up all over again. I have followed the directions in Seamonkey Help, to the best of my knowledge, correctly but the result is always the same. What am I missing? In the past years I had more groups other then Mozilla but lost them when my ISP stopped providing news service. E-T .org says my news client needs to be set up and perhaps I am incorrect thinking Seamonkey is my Client.

DoctorBill Who is your internet provider? They may provide newsgroups. Check with them and see. Most of them do not provide binary newsgroups (the ones that contain pictures, music, etc.) but some still provide regular text newsgroups. If your provider DOES have newsgroups their site should have instructions on how to set up to use them. If your provider does not have newsgroups, then you need to subscribe to a website that does. I use giganews.com It costs 4.99 per month to subscribe and they have given good service. Some are free. Do a search for newsgroups (without the quotation marks). Once you get signed up to one, they should provide instructions on how to use them, or some of us may be able to help. Thanks so much guys ! I will follow thru. BTW - what IS a Newsgroup that it can function via the MAIL part of a browser - some special or different thing that a web site ? DB Newsgroups, websites, and email are all different things. Newsgroups are more similar to email, but work differently in that the messages there are for everybody, not just one entity. That means that the messages there cannot be deleted by one person (but email messages, of course, can be). As far as getting access to more newsgroups goes, you can add more newsgroup server addresses as accounts. For instance, if you wanted access to Microsoft newsgroups, add news.microsoft.com as a new newsgroup account. Tried that and it didn't work. What are the settings? I just tried that, and it works for me. Go into Mail Newsgroup Account Settings (in the Edit menu for me, but I use Mac OS), click Add Account, specify newsgroup account, then fill in the user name and email address you want to use, then input the address of the newsgroup server. For Microsoft, that would be news.microsoft.com. You can leave that as the name of the account or put in a different name. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I had already done as instructed with no results and then realized I was not getting the option to select news group for the new account. The click on account goes directly to the mail wizard. I fired up my lap top which also has the latest version of Seamonkey and lo and behold, clicking on new account does indeed give me the choice and I was able to make my connection to news.E-T.org. Now, the question is why my main computer does not give me the choice? I even reinstalled Seamonkey and the problem is not solved. Is there something in about:config that is not correct? Thanks in advance for any help provided. azed13 Just to be sure we are on the same page for your desktop: Click Window, Mail Newsgroups, Edit, Mail Newsgroups Account Settings..., Add Account You should now see the screen New Account Setup. On that screen the third item is used to set up a Newsgroup Account. Do you get that far on your desktop? Whoops!! You only see that New Account Setup for a new profile. Let me sleep on this. Happy to wait for a solution that works. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

BTW - what IS a Newsgroup that it can function via the MAIL part of a browser - some special or different thing that a web site ? DB Very definitely different from a Web site.

Newsgroups are more similar to email, but work differently in that the messages there are for everybody, not just one entity. That means that the messages there cannot be deleted by one person (but email messages, of course, can be). As far as getting access to more newsgroups goes, you can add more newsgroup server addresses as accounts. For instance, if you wanted access to Microsoft newsgroups, add news.microsoft.com as a new newsgroup account. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Most require registering of some sort. Some are free, some are not. For instance, if you wanted access to Microsoft newsgroups, add news.microsoft.com as a new newsgroup account. No, you can't do that. The microsoft news server was shut down years ago. Microsoft switched to web forums and dropped News. The fact that their groups propagated to many other news servers doesn't mean that server is still in business. -- -bts -This space for rent, but the price is high ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

However, be aware that you cannot register if you are using an att.net email. It has at least two XP newsgroups including the following: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general alt.comp.os.windows-xp Those of us in our eighties have no problem registering with and using Eternal-September so you young pups in your seventies should be able to handle it :-) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

DoctorBill Who is your internet provider? They may provide newsgroups. Check with them and see. Most of them do not provide binary newsgroups (the ones that contain pictures, music, etc.) but some still provide regular text newsgroups. If your provider DOES have newsgroups their site should have instructions on how to set up to use them. If your provider does not have newsgroups, then you need to subscribe to a website that does. I use giganews.com It costs 4.99 per month to subscribe and they have given good service. Some are free. Do a search for newsgroups (without the quotation marks). Once you get signed up to one, they should provide instructions on how to use them, or some of us may be able to help. Thanks so much guys ! I will follow thru. BTW - what IS a Newsgroup that it can function via the MAIL part of a browser - some special or different thing that a web site ?
