Is there a place on the Internet where I can access a document describing the steps (1, 2, 3, 4 etc.) for establishing and setting up newsgroups on SeaMonkey. I have looked for two days for such a document (written at the elementary level user) without success. Also, are the setup procedures the same for both SeaMonkey and Thunderbird?

click on Edit, Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings, then on the bottom left is a button that says "Add Account." Click that, and follow the instructions. For example:

Your Name: put in the name you want others to see you as

Email Address: put in the address you want to use

Newsgroup Server: news.mozilla.org

and that should be it.  The program will do the rest itself.

As for SM and TB: yes, its the same in TB as in SM


How does one find a list of the many newsgroups available on the Internet?

find a news server you want, add the account, when its added click on File, Subscribe and this will give you a list of groups currently on that server.

Thanks for helping me. I need one more piece of guidance having to do with news servers. You say to find a news server you want and add the account. Okay, for example purposes, let me say I am looking for an account having to do with Western Digital Hard Drives. Are you saying that I would do a Google search for Western Digital News Servers or is there someplace where one can access/select from a complete list of newsgroups? I do note that if I click File>Subscribe while in this newsgroup I am able to see a listing of Mozilla groups. How was this and other newsgroups found in the first place.

Sorry for such a beginner question, but the bottom line is I don't know how to find the news server I would like to access.
