I use Outlook Express as my news reader, however it only shows the last few
days items, I have set in 'Options' to delete after 180 days, is there a way
to make OE show more than just my few days?

Thanks

Outlook Express deletes messages when they are deleted off the server. If
you want to keep messages in this newsgroup subscribe to
msnews.microsoft.com ; the server is free and does not require you to logon.

You can also save individual news messages by copying them to a user created
folder under Local Folders.

Answer in newsgroup. Don't send mail.

While in News: View | Current View. Make sure Show all messages & Group
messages by conversation is checked.

Tools | Options | Read. Uncheck: Get XXX headers at a time.

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Clean Up Now. At the top, select all the
newsgroups you want to show more messages, then Reset. Open each group one
at a time and all the messages currently on the server will be downloaded
again.

Follow up by compacting your folders.

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.
