Howard, are you running Win2K SP4?
Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your (mail and/or news) accounts in a new Named Identity... File | Identities | Add new identity Assuming all is well after a day or so, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File | Identities | Manage Identities). To avoid such corruption in futu - Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose. - Empty Deleted Items folder daily. - Disable "Compact messages in the background" and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline".

It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection: Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email http://thundercloud.net/infoave/tuto...ning/index.htm -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 Howard Kaikow wrote: For particular news servers, such as news.motzarella,org, OE loses ALL subscriptions after, say, a few daze.

Looking at motzarella.support at news.motzarella.org, it appears tat a number of folkes are having related problems, so I guess the problem is the implementation of news.motzarella.org. |

Actually, I do not use OE for email. I already have the compacting box unchecked. No problem using MSFT news server or the server at my former dial-up ISP. |
