Newsreader

The newsreader can be used to read newsgroups that support the NNTP protocol for news. The first step is to configure or select a news server:

Selecting a server

In the example we configured news.php.net as the news server indicating just the name of the server (no authentication needed in this server).

You can edit servers and add as many as you want. Clicking on a server in the list of servers will take you to server groups screen:
