HI,
Can anyone tell me how I download all previous posts and not just those
relating to recent days/weeks?
Thanks,
Greg
 
Hi Greg,
Change "hide read..." to "Show all messages" in the drop down, top right corner of the Windows Mail window.

You may need to reset the account.
Right click the group in the folder list.
Select properties.
Select the "local file" tab.
Click reset.

That will depend on how you are reading newsgroups. It appears that you are
not using Outlook Express, nor the Google Groups or MS Discussion Groups web
interface.

It appears that you are using Windows Mail (6.0.6002.18005). Is that a
Vista thing?

If so, perhaps you might get help by posting to
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail -- although you might stumble onto
someone in this forum who can help you.

Yes. In Vista, Windows Mail is the equivalent of Outlook Express.

On a side note, the web interface has been broken since at least Saturday
afternoon when I first attempted to go through it. Keep getting "Service
Temporarily Unavailable".
