browse through old messages and could access all of them. Many thanks Steve |

I'm no gossip, &, anyhow, I doubt PA Bear hiccoughed your messages
away-- not that many! I guess some strange corruption occurred. Therefore... (1) "OE, File menu, Folder, Compact All Folders" (2) At "OE, Tools menu, Message Rules, News", create a Message Rule to delete posts older than, say, 90 days. Also check "stop processing more rules". (3) At "Tools, Options, Read tab", uncheck "Get xxx headers at a time". (4) R-Clk the NG in the left pane of OE, Properties, Local File tab, & click the RESET button. (5) R-Clk the NG in the left pane, Synchronize Settings, set to All Messages. (6) Click "Tools, Synchronize Newsgroup" Posts older than 90 days will not download. Posts that age on your machine after the download are your responsibility to delete, by occasionally going to that rule & clicking "Apply Now". After that, compact: "OE, File menu, Folder, Compact all folders". Colorado disagrees, but there is a cave-dwelling MVP around, who says... (1) "OE, Tools, Options, Maintenance tab". (2) Uncheck "Delete news messages x days after being downloaded". (3) Uncheck "Compact messages in the background". -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Moonraker" wrote in message ... | in maintenance, there are three check boxes at the top, only the top one, | empty messages etc, is checked all the others on the box are greyed out | | when I am looking at the messages on this newsgroup it says they are no | longer on server and puts a line through the heading | | many thanks Steve | | "jkb" nospam wrote in message | ... | Why are nearly all of the messages on this site not available, I used to | browse through old messages and could access all of them. | | Check OE settings: Tools - Options - Maintenance.

... (2) At "OE, Tools menu, Message Rules, News", create a Message Rule to delete posts older than, say, 90 days. Also check "stop processing more rules". Why stop processing more rules? I have lots of rules that apply to NG posts. Why would I want to stop processing after filtering for age? -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User |

I guess that is it, I have relisted messages by date order and can read
messages back to 24-08-05 the next listed is a jump to 29-05-05 (for some reason) and that I cannot read. ALL of my own posts I can read right back to26-01-05. Why are these still on the server? How is it that last time I used this general site I could read all of the messages, going back years. They hold so much useful info. "dadiOH" wrote in message ...

Doesn't sound to me like you Reset the NG. Did you?
If you want to access older news messages, I suggest you try Google Groups. If you want to store news messages on your own system, drag them to a local folder in OE. -- Gary S.

Thanks for your help
- (4) R-Clk the NG in the left pane of OE, Properties, Local File tab, & click the RESET button. (5) R-Clk the NG in the left pane, Synchronize Settings, set to All Messages. I do not have "the newsgroup in the left pane of OE" I only have inbox drafts "PCR" wrote in message ... I'm no gossip, &, anyhow, I doubt PA Bear hiccoughed your messages away-- not that many!
