Yeah me too! ;-(
I deleted all old messages and restarted the computer about a 20 times.
Looked at all settings and double checked everything. It all started
working again slowly. At first I got the rec back up then ABPW and then
some others

How are y'all.

I have a question. I use Thuderbird for mail and newsgroups and my ISP
is Earthlink. For about two weeks now I have not been able to access
rec.woodworking. I have contacted Earthlink, spent two hours or so with
tech support and nobody could come up with a clue as to what could be the

Earthlink's new enhanced Usenet service is the problem... The message
numbers on your machine are out of sync with what is on the server. If you
Reset the news groups and then "catch up" it should straighten things out
for you...

This morning I printed out the suggestions that you and some others gave
me. I wanted to try your suggestion, but when it comes to computers I
am a bit dense. How would I "reset the newsgroups" and where would I
find the "catch up command."

BTW, John, while I was trying other things, I googled rec.woodworking
and thunderbird and it came to a screen where you answered this question
for me about a week ago on the rec. My question obviously posted, but I
never saw the response. For this I want to doubly thank you for
answering me twice.

Thanks again
Glen
