I like the idea of bringing your files with you everywhere. However I am having problems in trying to get the newsgroup feature of Thunderbird working. I have the RSS feature working. I am trying to get the Microsoft newsgroups to be downloaded but it keeps saying Connection Timed Out

NNTP connections are usually ISP-specific. And password-protected. Be sure you get the password in correctly. And you MUST be on your ISP's network to connect. It will drop connections from outside the network.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
