I know  it's a bit late  to answer, but I  used Mew today  for the first
time to read news. I hope this answer could be helpful to others. 

I set the two variables :
(setq mew-nntp-server "news.free.fr")
(setq mew-nntp-user "ppercot")

I guess it should also work with those values :-)))
(setq mew-nntp-server "news.wanadoo.fr")
(setq mew-nntp-user "e.marache")

I  used the  2Z sequence  to  collect the  newsgroups list  on the  nntp
server. It  takes some time, be  patient. When finished, I  used the key
sequence g  to go to  a folder. The  prefix for nntp  folders is -  so I
replaced the + by - . It is  possible to type the name of a newsgroup or
to use the TAB key fro completion. 

When  you have a  complete name  of newsgroup  type RET,  and then  s to
update the list of messages. 

That's all folks.
