Re: Virgin Newsgroup on Windows Live Mail

Yes, but that is a newsgroup and not a server, you need news.virginmedia.com as the server, you then download the list of newsgroups on that server and slect the ones that you want to subscribe too or after you set up the server you manually enter in the GROUPS section the newsgroup name which in this instance would be virginmedia.support.broadband.cable
