Guest Gordon Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Using XP SP2, IE7. I subscribe to groups on several news servers that are extraneous to the news server run by my ISP, including msnews.microsoft.com. Every post I make to groups on these servers leaves my Outbox almost instantaneously, EXCEPT those I post to msnews.microsoft.com. These can take anything up to 30 seconds to leave the Outbox. Can anyone think why this should be, and is there a fix?

Newsgroup posts take long time to leave Outbox Gordon When did you last Compact Outlook Express and run Disk Defragmenter? -- Hope this helps.

Guest Gerry Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Re: OT? Newsgroup posts take long time to leave Outbox Gordon I know nothing about Thunderbird! Are you geting the problem using Outlook Express? If yes what is the answer to my question? -- Hope this helps.

Defragging the HDD has nothing to do with this problem....

Can anyone think why this should be, and is >there a fix? I don' think this has anything to do with your computer, your software, your network connection or anything on your end. The MS server farm just takes a while to handle a new post. I use Agent to read the groups. When I send a post off, Agent handles it in the background and I can go back to reading other posts. I do notice that the "Sending new post" progress bar stays around for 30 seconds or so, like you've noticed. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
Guest Unknown Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Re: OT? Newsgroup posts take long time to leave Outbox It is simply because msnews is a busy server.
