Entourage hangs on this newsgroup

[Martin Rep]

Hi

I am glad I also have Unison to read the postings from this group.
Because Entourage hangs on importing headers from this newsgroup - and
this newsgroup only. The Word and Office groups load just fine.
Anyone an idea how to repair this?

Thanks for your help.

Test in a new Identity and see if it happens there. I haven't seen this
error and not sure if database corruption could cause this. A new Identity
will quickly tell you if it's in your current Identity.

You could try....

* deleting the newsgroups then add them back
* rebuild your database

How to rebuild:

A casualty of the transition to Entourage 2008 is the Empty Cache for the
Entourage newsreader and purge IMAP messages.

Hi Diane
Well, I am relying you from Entourage, so apparently your help worked. I
created a new identity (btw: I think this identity stuff is confusingŠ) and
I was able to retrieve posting from this newsgroup again. Thanks!

I've seen similar report for Hotmail not downloading. I don't understand
what is "stuck" but accessing the account via a new Identity fixes the
problem.
