Your choices are:
Don't delete any messages
Delete all but the most recent (pick a number) messages
Delete message more than (pick a number) days old
Wasn't that covered in F1?
I am aware of that, but in the older SeaMonkey versions like v2.0.14, it
didn't purge them until AFTER I visited the newsgroup and not before.
Basically, I want the old behavior. :(
So what was your setting in the older version of SeaMonkey?
To keep only the last few days.
What is your setting now?
Same.
How long do you wait until you visit a newsgroup?
I download, and then either go quickly or wait for a while.
What newsgroup(s)? What news server(s)?
Here, Giganews, etc.
Are you sure it isn't the server removing them?
No, because I do a repair and I redownload the posts/threads that I am in.
I would think setting "Don't delete any messages", would be a good
starting point.
But I don't want to keep older than XX days I specified. However, not
right away right after I downloaded them.
