From: Gary Karasik on 26 Jun 2008 12:11 Hi, I'm having an annoying problem: On one of my subscribed private MS Newsgroups (microsoft.private.directaccess.smallbizserver2003) there is a persistent "1 not downloaded" message in the status bar. Sometimes it says "2 not downloaded," sometimes "3 not downloaded." The number of "not downloaded" messages changes if I navigate away to another NG, but there is always at least one message not downloaded. I have tried unsubscribing and resubscribing, and I have tried all the OE maintenance options to no avail. There are thousands of messages, so I haven't been able to locate the undownloaded messages. How can I resolve this? -- GaryK
From: Bruce Hagen on 26 Jun 2008 12:18 It is what we call a ghost message. The server thinks it's there, but it really isn't. It is a very common problem with news servers, especially the MS Private groups. You're not missing any message. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Gary Karasik" <gkarasik(a)fea.net> wrote in message news:eZHETd61IHA.4936(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hi, > > I'm having an annoying problem: On one of my subscribed private MS > Newsgroups (microsoft.private.directaccess.smallbizserver2003) there is a > persistent "1 not downloaded" message in the status bar.

From: Gary Karasik on 26 Jun 2008 12:23 Thanks for the quick response, Bruce. I'm not worried about missing messages. I just want to get rid of the warning. Is there no way? -- GaryK "Bruce Hagen" <Nospam(a)mymail.invalid> wrote in message news:O4uGNh61IHA.4004(a)TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > It is what we call a ghost message.

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 26 Jun 2008 12:25 Right-click the newsgroup in Folders pane and select Catch Up. (But you'll probably have to do it everytime you open the NG.)

That's what I've been doing, but it doesn't resolve the problem. It's annoying, but on a 1-10 scale, with 10 being losing your house, it's just not that big a deal. Thanks for taking the time to respond. -- GaryK "PA Bear [MS MVP]" <PABearMVP(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:eH4XZm61IHA.4772(a)TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Right-click the newsgroup in Folders pane and select Catch Up.
