Hey Gene - it appears that my copy of Agent is all messed up. I can't
get it to access Easynews.

You want to give me a ringy dingy please? first name last name AT
swsports dot org.


Easynews has had a number of issues recently. I have had intermittent
problems with no new posts being downloaded and earlier unread posts no
longer available on the server. This problem seems to have gone full-time
sometime this morning. I spoke with support this morning. They were
unaware of the problem but were able to replicate it. I have been accessing
easynews for years using news.easynews.com as the server address. Support
recommended that I use a new server address of news.us.easynews.com going
forward. Changing the server address solved the problem for me. I'm not
sure how it works in Agent, but in Outlook Express it was recommended that I
establish a new mail account using the new server address rather than just
changing the server address in the existing account. Something about
changing the server address in the existing account would screw up the
indexing of the threads and headers. Anyhoo, a new mail account (in OE not
at EasyNews) with the new server address solved the problem for me. So far,
so good. As best as I can tell, the news.easynews.com server is still
FUBAR.

That's it - thanks.

I wrote support a couple of days ago and they said there was a blade
that was flaky - I guess it's still flaky.

Thanks again - much appreciated.
