NEWSGROUPS in Outlook Express

[Phillytt]

I'm having a problem with NEWSGROUPS in Outlook Express 6.0. The newsgroup I subscribe to (phl.transportation) shows that numerous unread messages are available after synchronization but only one shows in the message list window.

FYI, I'm using IE7 with Windows XP.

This has nothing to do with Microsoft Office and I'm no expert in Newsgroups and NNTP. I sometimes see this - and the status bar shows something like "1 unread, 4 not downloaded". I don't know either the meaning or the cause - if it bothers you, right clicking and select Catch Up should clear it.

Enjoy,
Tony

Thank you, Tony. I was under the impression that Outlook Express was part of the Office package.

Yes, the name does cause confusion, but OE is part of Windows. The new version (or replacement depending on your point of view perhaps) in Vista is called Windows Mail so it becomes much clearer.

Enjoy,
Tony
