That got me a lot closer. So did setting the proper directory for my archive method. I've still lost marks for both my main "sent" group and my main "misc" groups, which unfortunately are the two most important groups. Hitting G E on both of those groups shows me a long list of seen/replied/forwarded message numbers, and yet the groups themselves show no message marks whatsoever, everything appears unread. Looking into .newsrc.eld and .newsrc.eld~, everything seems more or less in order there, as well. I'll keep poking, I guess… Thanks again, Eric
