There's so much buried configuration crap in any newsreader or faux newsreader program like Tnunderbird that you probably have to go deep into it's configuration to find what's not set correctly with/to your new provider. All it takes is one little mis-configuration to screw things up for you.

Well that suggests a possible configuration problem and not a provider
problem. Who was your old provider and who is the new one?

I use Thunderbird and have not had that problem. I have a worse one with
Windows Live Mail. If someone sends me an email and uses the same
subject header it shows up in the inbox highlighted as if it is new mail
but it is the old one, and I cannot delete it. It happens only on my
deck top. It works fine on my laptop. When using the desk top and I see
it happening I switch to my browser and go to OutLook.

Make sure under server settings you have selected 'Authentication is
required'. Oh, and it helps if you know your password.

It seems like Jill had every problem known to man before she finally
tamed Thunderbird. It's obviously not idiot proof, so I'm never going
to try it out. I want easy personal configuration, not something I
need a software engineering degree in order to get it working at my
comfort level.

It's only a news reader that you connect to a news server. Y'all seem
to think it's voodoo that may or may not work based on all kinds of
superstition.

On this computer I am using an early version of WLM. I've used it for so
many years it is hard to get used to anything else. I have tried a couple
of others but I didn't like them. My other computer has a more updated
version but it doesn't show chevrons and doesn't sort the posts in date
order within a subject. Well it does but I have to read from the bottom up
which is a pain. Is there anything that is similar to this version of WLM
that I could use because this isn't going to last forever

I hate changing too. Nothing beats what you're used to. I'd stay with
Agent for that reason, except my version can't killfile name thieves
without also killfiling the real people. But that has calmed down
again.

Some people who are not bad enough for my kf but are annoying, get marked as
read before I begin to go through the list.

I have the same problem to an extent. I can't remove the spam SW
without pulling the real person. I can domain ban but that's not
fixing it for his situation.

Like I said, try Xananews. Pretty easy on the setups. Has advanced
features if you want to configure further too.

Many thanks for all the advice! I went back to scratch and re-configured
it and I'm sure ticking all the same boxes.
It now works!! Strange are the ways of computers.

After working for IBM for 7 years, I am firmly convinced there are "ghosts in the machine", maybe demons even!! Kinda flys in the face of that old saw about "insanity being doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"!
