I did some cleaning maintenance as advised,

FIND only finds unopened emails.
This is a new pc running OE version 6.0 on XP with latest service packs.
I had the identical problem with my last pc running on WIN98.

After working offline, 1 specific newsgroup won't download any new messages
dated after 7/28 2 pm.
How can I delete this newsgroup and force all mesages to download? I've
removed msnews.microsoft.com, readded, etc.

I have a blank preview pane and message body once opened.
View - layout - etc. is checked.
Tried the "regsvr32 inetcomm.dll" but still no luck.
Any other ideas?

Friends -
Here's my problem, and thanks for your help. I'm at my wits end;
Email has worked flawlessly as long as I can remember, with Norton Internet
Security on. I wake up one morning and I'm getting the 'time-out error

I am new to using OE6.  When I double-click on the Inbox, I can see the
