I've just had to rebuild my Linux box. Tedious but
straightforward. Then came setting up newsgroups in
Thunderbird.

I came across the same problem which I'd met before - being
unable to see the groups I wanted to subscribe to. I
suffered the same frustration which I'd had before, at
least twice. Many years ago I found a way but couldn't
remember what it was. The next time, I exported the profile
from a working machine and avoided the problem altogether.

The solution was simple but it took some finding on the
internet. After setting up the account but before trying to
subscribe, close Thunderbird and re-open it. That's all it
takes.

No doubt those of you using Thunderbird will have had no
problem but come the day when you've forgotten how, just
remember. Close, then open.
