After rebooting, the subscribed newsgroups have disappeared from Folders
pane, leaving just the newsserver header? What about your email messages in
the Local folders and your Hotmail-specific folders (if any), are they still
there?

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try one or more of your mail & news accounts in a new Named
Identity...

File | Identities | Add new identity

Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2)
import messages from the old identity into the new one (local folders only;
don't bother with Hotmail or newsgroups), and then (3) delete the old one
(File | Identities | Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in future:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to
close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting
is taking place.

- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection:
