Not a problem with Tbird.  A problem with ES (the Usenet provider you
use) where a server went down, the articles database got rebuilt which
resulted in new article articles (which won't match those you previously
downloaded).  See the eternal-september.support newsgroup for more info
from Ray.

 Ah thanks for that.  As I've set to retain all messages it should have them locally and I should still be able to access them?

I think I found where the issue is with it retaining the messages. In the properties of the ng, synchronization tab, select offline.
Perhaps that will fix the issue with searching too.  I'll keep on with TB for awhile, and see if that helps, at least until the messages from E-S are reloaded.
Thanks again!
