??Trying to join newsgroups but cannot????

Seems I'm missing something when attempting to sign up to newsgroups using
w/vista mail.
Do they (example: alt.music.bluenote.blues) only have to be prefixed by the
micrsoft server????(like the communities that are alredy there?
I always get "server not found" msgs on accounts I have tried to create then
connect to.

The Microsoft news server does not carry non-Microsoft newsgroups.
For the latter, you will need to get an account on a general news server.
Check with your ISP. They should have a news server you can use.
