I have since confirmed this by unsubscribing to all my groups and then
resubscribing. However this time I told it only grab the last 500
headers (instead of all 60000 in one case) and now SeaMonkey opens the
server and checks for new messages in just a couple of seconds. So
version 2.0 is doing a lousy job at finding new messages for newsgroups
with a large message base whereas previous versions did not have this
problem.
If I read you right, you /chose/ to download only the most recent 500
headers, and not the full set. It seems unreasonable to complain that
SeaMonkey didn't do something you told it not to do.
Or are you saying that it no longer offers the option of downloading the
full set?
If you want the full set, I would think you could close SM, delete the
corresponding MSF file, and restart and it would offer the option of
downloading the full set, unless that option has been removed.
On my computer (still using version 1), the index file for this
newsgroup is located at
C:\Documents and Settings\My Username\Application Data\
Mozilla\Profiles\Profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt\News\
news.mozilla.org\mozilla.support.seamonkey.msf
I would think index files for other newsgroups would be easy to find
using this example.
