The only way I can read the microsoft newsgroups is using microsoft mail. I
much prefer Thunderbird as my email, but I cannot get TB to accept the
microsoft news groups.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know why not. I'm using Thunderbird without any problems. The
server name is msnews.microsoft.com and there is no username or password
required.

What happens when you try? What specific error messages do you get?
What do your system event logs report? What specific troubleshooting
steps have you already taken, and what were the results of each?

I'm afraid that no one can help if you don't provide at least a
modicum of pertinent information.
