Apparently, that's normal behavior. I ran into the same a couple of times before. No solution, though.

Interesting...
When I'm not trying to learn Linix, I use Outlook Express on Windows XP. I
have no such problem...I see all 18759 messages.

These are the settings I have am using.
Under Tools > Options > Read : News, I've removed the check mark from "Get #
headers at a time". Under Tools > Options > Maintenance, ensure that only
"Compact messages in the background" is checked.
After this, right click on D, and choose Properties: On the Local File tab
click on Reset...

This will re-download all messages and you will messages on the server and keep them all, unless of course Walter or Jan starts deleting older messages from the server.

There are no plans to do that. We've got lots of disk space!

What I've wanted to do for some time is to take all the D messages and convert them into html and link them all together. Doing this may finally get Google to index them <g>.
