How do I set up Entourage 2004 or 2008 to read newsgroups?

To set up Entourage 2008 or 2004 for Mac OS X to read newsgroups:

1. In Entourage, from the Tools menu, select Accounts.
   
   
2. Click the News tab, and then click New.
   
   
3. The Account Setup Assistant should start. If the Account Assistant doesn't start automatically, click Setup Assistant or Assist me. Choose your email address and type the name of your organization (e.g., Indiana University). Click the right arrow at the bottom of the window.
   
   
4. Type the address of your news server.
   
   
5. If your news server requires authentication, check the box next to My news server requires me to log on; otherwise, click the right arrow at the bottom of the window.
   
   
6. If you indicated that you need to log into your server, put your username and password in the next window that appears. Click the right arrow at the bottom of the window. (If you indicated that you don't need to authenticate, this window will not appear.)
   
   
7. You will be asked to create a name for this account. You can name it anything you want. To save your settings, click Finish.
   
   
8. Close the Accounts window.
   
   
9. Back in the main window, your news server should appear in the Folder List. Click its icon.
   
   
10. When prompted to download the list of newsgroups from the server, click Receive. This may take quite a while, especially if you have a dial-up connection.
    
    
11. When the list has completely downloaded, the newsgroups will appear in the main window. To subscribe to a group, select it from the list. Then, from the Edit menu, select Subscribe.
    
    
12. To view a group, double-click it. Another window will open with the contents of the newsgroup. From here you can browse, read, and reply to articles.
    
    
13. Once you have subscribed to all the newsgroups you want, from the View menu, select Subscribed Only to hide the other groups.
