Messages Not Downloaded

I am using Outlook Express for reading these postings and I have it set to
download all messages. For most of the NewsGroups the downloading is fine.
When I look at the summary in the lower left corner of the NewsGroup for
microsoft.public.pocketpc.activesync it shows "259 messages(s), 0 unread,
8832 not downloaded"

Does anyone have any idea why I did not download the 8832 messages?

By *Download All Messages* do you mean that you have Get XXX headers at a
time unchecked? If not, uncheck it. All messages on the server will now be
downloaded.

If Refresh does not work, right click on the news server and Reset.

When I go to the settings drop down menu, the choices are don't synchronize,
all messages, new messages only, headers only. I have chosen all messages,
yet I still see the message below in the lower left corner when I highlight
the newsgroup. Also, to the right of the newsgroup I have (989) showing in
the color blue.

Everyone has their own preferences, but this is how I am set up.

I have Don't Synchronize checked. (I never use sync).
I have Get XXX headers at a time unchecked.

In Tools | Accounts | News | Properties, I have Include this account when
checking for new messages checked. This will download any new messages when
OE checks for new e-mail, whatever your settings are, (every xx minutes).

The number you mention in blue, 989, are messages that have not been
downloaded yet. If you set up the way I am, you will get all your messages
downloaded without having to Sync, Refresh, or Send/Receive.
