Emie,

Have you added a Newsgroup account to your accounts?  If you haven't added a
newsgroup account then you need to.  Go to "Tools" => "Account", then slect
the news tab and then click "Add".  the newsproup wizard will walk you
through adding a newgroup account.  When you go to Newsgroups it will
download all available newgroups on that server.  You should be able to then
filter the newsgroups to find ones at that server to subscribe to.
