OT - posts missing on outlook express
Hey guys, I just noticed that if I check this newsgroup with outlook
express, it doesn't show all the messages as when I check using Google. Someone replied to a post I wrote and I can see it on Google but not with outlook. Anybody know what's going on? Thanks |

I suggest You rid yourself of the nuisance that is Outlook Express. You'll thank me in the long run... probably ;-) -- Steen Suder Prøv at forestille dig, at du er en anden, og læs så din artikel igennem inden du sender den.

Someone replied to a post I wrote and I can see it on Google but not with outlook. Anybody know what's going on? Thanks This is a fairly common problem with Outlook Express. Do a Google search for Outlook Express, Newsgroup, Messages, Disappear, and you'll probably find the solution. It involves resetting OE somehow... I don't know the details, since I don't use OE for news reading. -- Eric Schreiber www.ericschreiber.com |

In the Options dialog box (Click on the Tools menu and then Options) there
is a check box under the Maintenance tab. It is checked by default and will delete your messages after downloading them after the specified number of days. Either uncheck it, or change the number of days. I think the default is only 5 days. HTH Susan "Allyb" wrote in message ...

Good suggestion, but I just made the post last night, and the response was
today, so no dice. Mine is set to 5 days as you said "Susan" wrote in message news:9r6wd.505840$wV.270121@attbi_s54...

You're right about outlook. I'm complacent. The messages in question
couldn't have expired, it was less than a day old... "Steen Suder, privat" wrote in message ...

Someone replied to a post I wrote and I can see it on Google but not with outlook. Anybody know what's going on? Thanks It is a problem with the news server you are using with outlook. It is not outlooks fault. There are a lot of news servers that just don't keep up. My internet provider just recently switched from supernews to another service and I have been having all kinds of problems like that now. -- Margolis http://web.archive.org/web/200302152...qs/AGQ2FAQ.htm http://www.unrealtower.org/faq |

Propogation issues can indeed cause weird things to happen, but that doesn't apply to messages posted at the news server in question. The problem Allyb is reporting is pretty common among people reading newsgroups with OE. The best solution is to switch to a different news reader. There are a number of perfectly good free ones available. -- Eric Schreiber www.ericschreiber.com |

Maybe it's the sychronization settings? Click on the news folder (mine is
netnews.comcast.net), and check the synchronization settings for your news groups you subscribe to. If it says "New Messages Only" then maybe that is why. You can highlight a newsgroup in the list of groups you are subscribing to, and click on the Synchronization Settings button to change the setting for a newsgroup. (Or just right-click on the name of the newsgroup in the folder list and choose Synchronization Settings from the menu that pops up.) Otherwise, it is probably a problem with your server as someone else suggested. Regards, Susan "Allyb" wrote in message ...

Well, I've sent an email to my isp to see what they can do. I've come to
the conclusion that it is the news server. Thanks for all your posts! Allison "Eric Schreiber" eric at ericschreiber dot com wrote in message ...

Allison OE has a known problem in this area and other people can read your posts.

OE has a known problem in this area and other people can read your posts. Why do you think it's the ISP? because it is. It is not an OE problem. I am having the same problem on the new news server my isp just switched too a couple of weeks ago. Some of the posts I make DO NOT show up on the server I posted them to. But if I go to another server I keep as a backup they are there. This problem started with the new server, and ONLY happens on that server. This new server has all kinds of problems. Sometimes answers show up before questions, sometimes a post may show up a dozen times, sometimes not at all. -- Margolis http://web.archive.org/web/200302152...qs/AGQ2FAQ.htm http://www.unrealtower.org/faq |

The thing is, this exact same set of circumstances (not being able to see one's own posts) had been demonstrated to be an OE problem many times before. The test is easy - fire up a different news reader, and see if the posts show up. There are a number of good, free, newsreaders available, so all the test would cost would be a bit of time. -- Eric Schreiber www.ericschreiber.com |
