Hi,
thanks for the reply !
Well, that is only partially correct. Either OE or Windows Mail does NOT let
me download more than 1000 messages. Some of my subscribed newsgroups
folders ( .dbx files ) contain more than 5000 - 12000 messages. In OE6 that
was not a problem after a new install. As you've said, re-subscribe again to
the groups. After that, I closed OE6, copied all my .dbx files into the
correct folder, over-riding the newly subscribed ones and after opening OE6,
I had all my newsgroup messages back the way it was before the new install.
Windows Mail seems to handle that differently and I can't get ALL my
messages back. But there ust be a way of some sort to achive this task.
Any other ideas ?
Thanks,
Tom
