I'm not sure what you are asking about the newsgroups. Top right-hand
corner of what? In OE, the only ones you should see are the ones in the
Folder Tree below the Local Folders that your are subscribed to.

With no error message, we can only guess. Start with these suggestions.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending, and causes a
multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes.
Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently.
For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move
your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user
created folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is
feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

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.

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background
and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

And backup often.
