My guess is that you've entered a server name in the wrong place for that account, but I can't help.

Microsoft will be mothballing their server. Starting in June and continuing through the fall, they'll be shutting down their groups in phases. They're providing what they call an "NNTP Bridge" with limited functionality for people who want to keep using netnews clients with their webforums. Announcement about the shutdown of the newsgroups, with contact info: <http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.news.server&tid=7e72fb9e-53a8-41fc-82c9-589c1dbca01a&cat=en_US_9b6d26c4-de58-4d72-93d9-4c56f036b989&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1> or <http://tinyurl.com/27hnjqa> More help in microsoft.public.news.server or at <http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.news.server> (until June 1, when it will close). Instructions for setting up the "NNTP Bridge": <http://connect.microsoft.com/MicrosoftForums/> They say it supports Thunderbird, so I guess it should be ok with SeaMonkey as well. And presumably the Usenet versions of the groups will live on, just not peering with the old msnews server. -- »Q« /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / against html e-mail X <http://www.asciiribbon.org/> / \ _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
