I get to the setup pint where it asks for the News (NNTP) server and I don't
know what goes in the box?
 
Thank you! I was everywhere on the net and in every help center for almost
every major ISP and couldn't get the answer you gave me in three words! Ha!
 
Gary No you do not. NNTP is public and one of them is msnews.microsoft.com. The one from your ISP is in mostly cases private by running them on their own servers. Public servers like NNTP is open to everyone.

You have to get the NNTP server name from your ISP.
Who is your ISP?
 
The msnews.microsoft.com news server account is pre-defined
in Windows Mail as "Microsoft Communities". It should not need
re-entering.

If you want access to newsgroups other than the Microsoft ones,
you will need to set up a separate news account using the NNTP
server provided by your ISP.
