problems with newsgroups

When I first installed Thunderbird, I made the mistake of clicking on an option to download settings from my default email. I did that so it would pick up the correct information for SMTP server, etc. Unfortunately, that meant that it also picked up all my mailboxes and mail in that account. You actually can turn off email in Thunderbird without changing your settings. This way the settings remain, but it doesn't download your email. |

It picked up messages from my private mail that I do not use for newsgroups and placed them in the online Thunderbird mail. I do not like that. Live mail doesn't add quote characters anymore (). It isn't worth using. I can tutor you on Thunderbird or Xnews though Xnews might not be to your liking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I would love any help you can give me. I am thoroughly disgusted with WLM (partly because of the lack of quote marks), so if you can help, I would really appreciate it. I'm not familiar with Xnews, but I am certainly willing to talk to you about either of those programs. You have my private mail addy, so please contact me there if you have the time. MaryL |

You might want to turn off your wireless before you do this so you don't download emails. Open Thunderbird Right click the mail account that you created (on the left navigation side) and select "settings" Uncheck two options under Server Settings (should be the first tab settings opens to) just as in this pictu http://i46.tinypic.com/28cg9jc.jpg In case you can't see it, the options both start with "check for new messages ..." You might as well uncheck the third setting as well (automatically download new messages). |
