All I needed was to get ng's fully working again in OE6 (the only way I know
how to read/subscribe, these many years). If there's a better way, do tell .... Have succeeded, using news.tesco.net, and subscribing to the ng(s) I want - different news server to my ISP's, but, it works. Is there a major advantage/benefit in using msews.microsoft.com as news server? Only one I can think of. it's dedicated to MS ng's, rather than the "full" range of 30K possibles (and I use one or two of them). "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP, IE/OE" wrote in message ...

Unfair, DL!
I DID read/take notice of your response (which included news.microsoft etc) but it also included news.tesco.net - (used as quicker to type) ... your advice solved my problem, and I thank you sincerely for it. (tho' why you suggested news.cable.ntlworld.com, when that account was the root of my problem, as per original post - (the OE6 pasted error msge).... was I accused of not reading??? I also succeeded in restoring (importing) all my messages and address book - by reading a response in the "Outlook Express" ng - poser had similar but not identical problem as mine, but the same advice worked. So, DL, your original reply was helpful. OE6 doesn't have the facility to "rate" responses (like the "on-line" ng) - you get a "very helpful" from me, despite your later comment. Thanks again.
