Here's how to get it working:

Tools - Account Settings - Server Settings
Always request authentication when connecting to
this server
Next line down, click on browse.
Right click on news.server address and open with
notepad.
At the bottom of the file ad 3 lines of gobly-goop,
and save and close
the file
This will then cause Thunderbird to ask for a
correct screen name and
password to replace the gobly-goop.

ok, i saw the place that had the info on that on the website faq's
and i did check on always authenticate, but its not asking me for a
password, all i have is the refresh button on the subscribe window, it
just keeps showing the default 2. i also tried to add a smtp server
with the info on it too, and configured t-bird to use that for
outgoing, guess that wasn't going to help. i closed the prog down,
that didnt help, i looked everywhere for a place to put a password but
t-bird usually just prompts for it. could i be putting in something
wrong in the email location, in the server settings, or do i just need
to wait for some time? wierd..
