Why do postings drop off this board so quickly? I posted a question last
week. There was a response to my question. I answered that but when I
went back to check if there was another response, all were gone. I
haven't seen the charter of this group so don't know if there is a short
time limit on postings. TIA

Sounds like you need to use a different newsgroup and/or client.
(Or configure your client better.)

As a point of reference, do you mean this posting and corresponding
responses?
(Entire previous thread copied below.)
I have WindowsXP/Home on an e-machines computer. For the past three
days e-mail won't open on the computer. As I have my e-mail as an
additional user on MSNTV, I can open MSN mail on MSNTV but not on my
computer.

I just discovered today that when I click on Inbox folder on e-mail on
the computer, it says cannot send or receive e-mail. I don't know why.
Can anyone help? Thanks, Rita

Which email program are you using? Outlook or Outlook Express? Or is
this via the web at MSN?

That depend on how you access this group:
If on ISP's news-server, it depends on their retention time
On Microsoft's news-server, the retention time is somewhere around
3months...

You can access M$'s news-server (in OE) by adding newsaccount :
Tools->Accounts , add->newsgroups, server is news.microsoft.com
