Guest Barry Karas Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 8/2/2007 A most recent message with a date of 11-06-2006 in a major newsgroup? This is obviously wrong. I click on "get next 300 headers..." but the most recent message remains with a date of 11-06-2006. How would I fix this problem? Thank you, Barry Karas

Guest PA Bear Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Re: Get Next 300 Headers in Outlook Express 6 OE Tools > Options > Read > Get XX headers at a time (uncheck this option) ========================================= You may set this option as high as 1,000. Right-click on the newsgroup in Folders pane > Synchronization Settings > select New Messages Only. Now every time you open the newsgroup (or hit F5), you will download the next-newest set of headers/messages. When you feel you've downloaded enough headers/messages, again right-click on the newsgroup in Folders pane and select Catch Up Now. This will Mark as Read all messages on the server, including ones you've not yet downloaded. Now return to "Get XX headers at a time" and uncheck the option completely; then compact the folder. From now on, OE will only download headers/messages posted to the server since you last checked (polled) for messages. You should probably visit this page, too: http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#cleannews (lotsa good stuff there). -- OE-specific newsgroup: http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) Barry Karas wrote: > 8/2/2007 > > A most recent message with a date of 11-06-2006 in a major newsgroup?

Guest Barry Karas Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Re: Get Next 300 Headers in Outlook Express 6 I forget but I checked the dates of the other messages. They were all one to two weeks apart. Then again, perhaps the newsgroup ceased operations -- although I didn't see any messages to that effect.
