Newsgroup Problem

[Robert]

Every time I try to setup Gmane as an ng server I cannot retrieve list
items. I can successfully reload the list of newsgroups and I can subscribe
to groups as well.

However, when I try to download from a subscribed newsgroup I get an:

"Error: 130"

Entourage is the only app I have this problem with. I can do it in every
other application without a problem.

Any ideas?

First, double-check to make sure that the settings for your Gmane news
account in Tools > Accounts are correct.

If that doesn't help, try rebuilding the database.

In Entourage 2004, you must launch the Microsoft Database Utility.
1. Launch Entourage, holding down the ³Option² key. Or, launch the
Database Utility separately; it is located in HD/Applications/Microsoft
Office 2004/Office/.
2. If you are prompted, allow the Database Utility to quit open Office
applications.
3. Once the Database Utility is open, select your identity from the list at
the top.
4. Click the ³Rebuild Database² button, and click ³Continue."

I did all that and I still get the same error. I can retrieve a list of
newsgroup so it must be connecting on some level. It is only when I try to
retrieve news items in groups I have subscribed to that I get the error.

Frustrating as all get out.

I can confirm this behaviour.

Not sure why it is - the error message is very limited in informational
content!

I will take it up elsewhere and see what I can find out.

Thanks! That is pretty much the only thing that annoys the heck out of
me in Entourage.

Did you find anything out on this?

I have heard nothing, so I just gave it another prod.
