Is there an FAQ for this group? I'm trying to resolve a problem using OE6
as newsreader. Thanks, John |
FAQ
Not really. A Find by subject, or a Google, but no FAQ's. What's the
question? -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "John Selph" wrote in message news:TGjJg.3983$B14.531@dukeread03... Is there an FAQ for this group? I'm trying to resolve a problem using OE6 as newsreader. Thanks, John |
FAQ
First: Thanks for asking! You can't imagine how often we see the same
questions over and over and over... There is no official FAQ for this group. Google Groups is a handy interface for searching this and virtually every other public newsgroup. Of course, a web search will also provide lots of information. --- Ted Zieglar "Backup is a computer user's best friend." John Selph wrote: Is there an FAQ for this group?

FAQ
Thanks for the replies. My problem just started recently whereas the group
details under Folders shows unread messages, but there are no unread messages in the messages pane. I have had isolated occurrences of this in the past, but every group I subscribe to is now showing unread messages. I have synced all groups, set sync to All Messages, have no rules or ignored users. I've increased the message downloads to 500 and even after using Catch up on all groups, the next sync will most likely show unread messages.

Tools | Options | Read - Uncheck: Get XXX Headers at a time. All new headers
will be downloaded in the future. You may have to kick start it and go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Clean Up Now. Select the newsgroup at the top and then Reset. This will remove all your messages and then download all that are available on the server. If you want to download newsgroups, but don't want hundreds, or thousands, of messages, you can create a message rule such as this: Tools | Message Rules | News. Box 1: Where the message was sent more than days ago Box 2: Delete it & Stop processing more rules Box 3: Click on "Days" and choose the # of days you want. Name the rule. When you go to, or subscribe to a newsgroup, it will only download the messages for the number of days you selected. Opinions on this vary, but in Tools | Accounts | News | Properties | General, I have Include this account when checking for new messages checked. When OE automatically checks for mail, (however often you have it set for), it will also download any new news messages at the same time.

FAQ
Is that status bar also showing one or more message not downloaded? If
you aren't seeing the status bar enable it in View, Layout. There's a bug/quirk in OE often referred to as "Ghost Messages", where OE thinks there are some messages on the news server that it can't download. Once it hits a newsgroup, it seems to slowly increase the number of messages. It seems to take the news server administrator to rebuild in the server indexes for the problem to go away. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "John Selph" wrote in message news:z8kJg.3986$B14.2939@dukeread03...

All,
Thanks for the info. I've cleaned up and reset, and reloaded all messages. So far, so good. I'll know in a day or so if that solved the problem. I'll also keep an eye out for the server "bug". I may have to migrate to a new newsreader if this continues, but I'm just so used to OE......I guess that's Bill's idea! ;^) Thanks Again, John "John Selph" wrote in message news:z8kJg.3986$B14.2939@dukeread03...
