I also had trouble with newsgroups before. What happened, I think, was
that I opened two mailnews window and accidently set them to open the
same newly subscribed newsgroups so that both windows tried to download
headers from the newsgroups. I then cancelled and downloading. After
that I couldn't see anything when opening that newsgroup. I ended up
removing the entire news account and adding it back later. I was
then able to access the newsgroup. (note: removing an account will
reset all your read/unread records for all your subscribed newsgroups
in that account).

Thank you for use Mozilla. Please note that n.p.m.* newsgroups are for
developers only (yes, yes, the word 'public' is misleading). Mozilla
end-user questions should be directed to:
<snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.general>
<snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.win32>
<snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.mac>
<snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.unix>
(Note that you need to have SSL enabled and the port set to 563.)
Thank you for using Mozilla. We appreciate your help in making Mozilla a better
browser.
