Any way i can get Windows Mail to not delete messages that have been removed
from the sever? Right now i have it set to download all messages from 2 or 3
newsgroups here and I hadn't had time to check them in a month, checked them
now and all the messages i had watched are gone, anyway to stop this from
happening?

TIA
Drew

Only option enabled there is to compact the database every 100 program
runs... i'll disable that but i'm not sure if that will work...

No, that's not the one to change.

Click on
[x] Purge newsgroup messages in the background
[x] Delete news messages (xx) days after being downloaded.

change the xx to a larger number
 
WinMail will still delete messages in a newsgroup when they are deleted from
the server.

No.
You can create a new folder under Local Folders and drag messages that you
wish to keep to that folder (after they have been downloaded).
