OE6 Newsreader / Cannot add New Groups
All of the sudden, I cannot add any newsgroups to my existing news servers
that I have listed. When I get the next headers for an existing group, the message count never changes, meaning, the unread / not downloaded total always stays the same. Please note, I am accessing the very same news server from my ISP on another computer and all is fine. I recently upgraded to IE7 but the issue with OE has just happened within the past few days and seemed to work fine just after I upgraded to IE7. Many thanks for any input. Can I reinstall OE6 somehow? |

OE6 Newsreader / Cannot add New Groups
This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from the
Office family for Intel PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one of these newsgroups: microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlooke xpress for OE 5.x http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...-us;newsgroups microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlook express for OE 5.5x http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...-us;newsgroups microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress for OE 6.x http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...-us;newsgroups microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...-us;newsgroups If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to post but it works for some people) Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found he http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/ -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "JBL" wrote in message ...

Well, he cross posted it here, and two other unrelated groups. Then multi posted to 'microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general'. He should have set a 'Followup-To' flag, though. -- Norman ~Shine, bright morning light, ~now in the air the spring is coming. ~Sweet, blowing wind, ~singing down the hills and valleys. |

OE6 Newsreader / Cannot add New Groups
Hi JBL,
There are some troubleshooting steps that can be taken. A reset of the news server can be done. This will delete current headers and download new headers. In some cases removing the account may be necessary to remove corrupt files. It is also possible to add another account for the same server. This will allow you to see if the server connection and operation is okay without taking action on the first account at this time. When creating a second account give it a name that differs from the first account. This name will be displayed in the accounts pane. Example Microsoft News with 2nd account change to Microsoft News Two To reset the server right-click on the account name in the accounts pane and choose reset. This can also be done from Tools | Options | Maintenance | Clean up Now and browse to the news server account to choose Reset. This can also be done for only one newsgroup. -- Tim K. aka Kuay Tim MS-MVP - Outlook Express Lynnwood, WA * "JBL" wrote in message ...
