Automatically Check for new Newsgroup Posts

Hi guys

I'm subscribed to various newsgroups in Windows Live Mail. I want to be able
to automatically refresh these groups when my system checks for mail etc.

The problem is the groups do not get new messages unless click on each one
and it then downloads the messages.

I have checked the setting "Include this account when checking for new
messages".

I also have each groups synchronization settings set to headers only.

Can anybody please help?

Regards

David

Right click on one of the newsgroups.
What are your synchronization settings?

Not automatically. The simplest designed mechanism
is the Synchronize All command, which you can have
a toolbar button for or just learn to press Ctrl-Shift-M



I have never tried that option. I'd be surprised though if it
would get new headers. The most that I would expect it to do
would be to update the counts. You could try checking with
the troubleshooting log what it actually does but the only way
to be really certain about what it does would be to use a
TCP packet tracer, such as netcap. E.g. an NNTP LIST
command is what might be issued to get the counts updated
during those events but the troubleshooting log never records
even that that command is issued when it does get issued.


Try periodically pressing Ctrl-Shift-M or clicking Sychronize All
to download only headers in all your newsgroups in all your accounts then.

Hi Robert

The synchronize all works fine Thanks very much.

Hi Robert,

I agree with David and it is terribly unpleasant I'm surprised at the lack
of threads on that subject.
I wrote on Connect to inform of that I consider as a bug, since Outllok
Express and Windows Mail carry out this function.
On the other hand, it's the only significant defect I have noticed on this
soft.

I hope the next build would be conseqently improved.

Please excuse my poor english

I don't see why this would be a problem.
You have to click on each newsgroup anyway before you can read
the posts. When I click on a newsgroup, it downloads the new headers
faster than I can read them, so where is the beef?
All my newsgroups are set for "Don't synchronize" which is the default.

Hi Gary

For me, It's a warning that there are unread messages in that group, like an
email notification.

David

Strange, I don't get that warning.

I did start the sentence with "For me" meaning I use the information like a
warning.
