No, I set up the account (News.Individual.NET), I click on that account and 
get a menu at the top of which is "Manage newsgroup subscriptions". I select 
that and up comes the menu that should result in a download of the names of 
all the newsgroups available. It says "Please wait" and I do, but nothing 
happens. I've played around with all the settings, like "Use secure 
connection" or "Always require authentication", but nothing seems to make 
any difference.

Well, I guess I'll figure it out eventually! If not, perhaps I can stick 
with Outlook for newsgroups, and use Mozilla for e-mails.
