| | Newsgroups and security New laptop with Vista. I'm the admin, only account. Trying to set up newsgroups from my news server, which requires me to log on. All is set up OK in the account screens. When I try to initially download the newsgroups on the server, up pops a Windows security notice, asking me to log on to the newsgroups server- "verify that both username and password are correct for your mail server". After I enter user name and password, and click OK, the screen keeps popping up asking for same prompt. I am giving it the correct info, but will not accept, so can't begin to download newsgroups. Whatever I enter will change what's in the account screen for the server setup. Tried turning all the windows security options off that I could find, but still can't get past the security screen. Any advice on this? |

| | Re: Newsgroups and security For username, make sure to use the complete memberID@xxxxxx. If still no joy, delete the account because it may be corrupted. Restart Windows Mail, then recreate that news account. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) " Coogee" <coogee@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:e$cFTpoGJHA.3932@xxxxxx Quote: > > " Coogee" <coogee@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:EABEE6AB-E591-4851-B668-E793DD0CD210@xxxxxx Quote: >> newsgroups.BellSouth.net >> >> >> "Gary VanderMolen" <Gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:%23LGAUJUGJHA.4200@xxxxxx >> Which news server is it? >> >> -- >> Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) >> >> >> "Coogee" <coogee@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:uvD$88TGJHA.4228@xxxxxx Quote: >>> New laptop with Vista.
