Hi,
It may seem that I should be posting to Mozilla Thunderbird Help, but I've tried that and there are technical problems for posting there right now. So I've come here because I believe that many Mac OS-X users are using Thunderbird. I'll be very grateful for any help...
I've got a G4 iBook (OS-X, Panther) and I have been using Thunderbird as the newsreader for three months or so. The problem is, I cannot get TBird to unsubscribe to newsgroups I'm no longer interested in. On a number of occasions, opening the Newsgroups Management box and selecting the name of the newsgroups in question and "unsubscribing" them has resulted in the temporary disappearance of the newsgroups' names in my subscribed list - only to have them reappear later (complete with all the various messages downloaded over a period of days or weeks)!
I don't have any idea how to correct this. As I've only switched over to Mac from PC/Windows in this year (2005), I'm acutally in the dark about where items like newsgroup files are stored on the Mac harddrive. I don't know if this has any relevance; just shows how lost I am!
Is TBird functioning normally? Should I uninstall TBird, and reinstall to start fresh? Or is there a simpler, less time-consuming way to correct this situation?
Thanks
