I'm not able to download new newsgroup messages using OE6. Are the
newsgroups on the ms news servers no longer available through the OE news
reader?

If I knew where I was I'd be there now.

You just posted this using OE. Can you read it?

Have you compacted your folders lately? If that doesn't help, try resetting
the group, or server.

Tools | Options | Read. Uncheck: Get XXX headers at a time. Then, right
click on the newsgroup in the Folder Tree | Properties | Local File | Reset.
Switch to another folder and then back and all available messages will be
downloaded again.

Or go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Clean Up Now and choose the group,
or server at the top and then Reset.

It would be a good idea to compact your folders when you're done.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

It's working now. Have no idea what happened the past two days.

This helped. Thanks, Bruce.
