Windows Vista windows e mail newsgroups error message

S

strom

Have HP Pavillion w/Vista home prem. Used Windows email for newsgroups.
Just Stopped working.
Now I get the error message below on every message I open in all newsgroups.

""Message is no longer available on the server
Windows Mail is unable to retrieve the requested message because
the server no longer has the message available.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
News servers regularly expire articles as they get older to make space
available for newer articles.
IMAP servers can be accessed by multiple e-mail programs at the same time.
If you are using two programs to access your mail the list of messages maybe
out of date.
Use the refresh command to update this list.

That news account may have become corrupted. Delete it,
restart Windows Mail, then recreate that account.

This used to happen to me frequently when using Outlook Express. I recently
upgraded to an HP laptop like yours. For several days, things worked well
with Windows Mail, but now I am getting the same problems you are. Today I
installed Windows Live Mail and did not see the problem. However the color
scheme makes it extremely difficult to use. Changing the color scheme only
seems to affect the icon line, not the newsgroup names and text. I suspect
the problem here may be my poor vision!
:-(

One other problem common to Outlook Express and Windows Mail was "catching
up" in newsgroups to which I just added. This would invariably lock up the
computer and I would have to use the task manager to kill the newsreader. I
have not noticed this problem with Windows Live Mail.

Thanks for the reply

I did not delete the old one ; But I did create a new news account.
It worked for two days and now does the same thing so it is useless.

One thing I notice is after three days the old one started working.
Lasted one day and went bad again.

So now I have two news accounts both doing the same thing.
Downloads message on the newsgroup ok.
Try to open any header I get that error message """ ""Message is no
longer available on the server """
and a line goes thru the Header.

By the way the messages all open and are still there when I use
GoogleGroups newsreader.
