OT - Looking for a simple explanation - Thunderbird
Following the detraction of the newsgroups which were hosted hosted on
the Annex.com server for many years, some groups were transferred to a similar arrangement on the MyPlugBox.com server. I've set up news.myplugbox.com as a news server on Thunderbird, but when I try to connect to the server to download the groups, I get this pop-up asking for my Username and Password. https://www.dropbox.com/s/n70zlorf2w...2019.36.08.png A similar pop-up occurs, when I use news.eternal-september.orq but, after I append my Username and Password once, I do not have to do so again. As far as I am aware, *anyone* is entitled to use the MyPlugBox newsgroups *WITHOUT* the need to even _have_ a Username and Password - it's purported to be a 'protected' environment but, in reality, it is a free-for-all. Can anyone reading here use the MyPlugBox newsgroups *without* a need to supply a username and password? If so, how may the server owner have manipulated Thunderbird to require me to have to supply them? -- David B. Devon, UK |
