Step by step instructions to set up a newsgroup.

Almost everything you could think to ask:

It is highly recommended that you enter a fictitious e-mail address
when setting up an account to avoid receiving Spam or worse. Ex.
(e-mail address removed). Your real address is not needed to post to a
newsgroup.

As far as your other problem, we need more details. What happens when
you try to receive? What happens if you send an e-mail to yourself?
Any error messages. Mail rejection replies? Have you checked with
your server that all the entries are correct in
Tools>Accounts>Mail>All Tabs?

Excuse me. Should have read: Tools>Accounts>Mail>Properties>All Tabs.
