  • Enter "News (NNTP) Server" nntp.combit-news.netand click "Next >"
  • Click on "complete"
  • Confirm the account dialog
  • Choose "yes" when asked if the newsgroups should be downloaded from the respective account.

 

2. Choosing Newsgroups

All newsgroups available on our server and to the public appear in the dialog "newsgroups subcriptions". If "read description" is activated, a short description on each newsgroup will be shown. If you want to read a newsgroup, choose the respective newsgroup and click "subscribe". You can also choose all newsgroups - meaning that you subscribe to all of them. Click "OK" to confirm.
