Sorry for the confusion I caused. Received was checked, I just didn't see it
because newsgroups folder was selected before I got to the Columns in the
drop-down menu. If you'd like to know what isn't checked in the
"mysteriously empty folder", these aren't: Account, Size, Sent, To, and
Watch/Ignore.

OK. Box is checked, though I could'nt use the keystroke method. :( So you
think the log ought to clear things up? But what if I lose downloaded
messages again as I did few times before?

I got the article. But says on the bottom that the article is for lower OE
versions. I use OE6 with MS_Windows_98SE. Need I read it still?
A Leave on Server feature is disabled (unchecked). What's my next step,
please?
