Losing subscriptions
Some time ago, I noticed that OE 6 was losing ALL the subscriptions to
particular newaccounts. In particular: news.grc.com news.motzarella.org And most strangely news.mv.net. This one is strange because I hacw two other accounts that also use news.mv.net. In some cases, I resubscribed, but again lost the subscriptions. Is there a fix? -- http://www.standards.com/; See Howard Kaikow's web site.

Newsgroup subscriptions are kept in folders.dbx. You can delete folders.dbx
and a new one will be created. Sub-folders will no longer display as sub-folders, but will display as folders. It may be better to create a new Identity. That will generate a new folders.dbx also. Your email messages can be imported to the new Identity. -- Ron Sommer "Howard Kaikow" wrote in message ...

Get a more stable server. ; ) To try to minimize the symptom you could try unchecking the option: Notify me if there are any new newsgroups (in Options, General tab) Good luck Robert Aldwinckle ---

Losing subscriptions
Due to screw ups on the news server, the server may temporarily report
that some (or all) newsgroups no longer exist. When that happens OE will remove the subscriptions. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Howard Kaikow" wrote in message ...

I keep a list of all subscribed newsgroups in Word or a draft email.

If you do lose a newsgroup, having a list may make it easier to get it back.
Are your newsgroups set to sync when you check for mail? -- Ron Sommer "Howard Kaikow" wrote in message ... "Ron Sommer" wrote in message ...
