I am a big fan of Thunderbird for my newsreader, have been for years.

https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/

Eternal-September is my goto for a news server, it's free and the owner
has done a lot of work to filter out the spam flood from Google Groups.

He is also working on a web interface as well.

I prefer Seamonkey to Thunderturd.

Each to their own, not sure why people have to slag what others are
happy with.

I took the time to setup Seamonkey and eternal-September and i don't see
much of the spam anymore. It's a PIA, but it's worth the time.

Nice, glad it's working for you, Google was never my go to in the first

[BobLangelius]
