I tried copying the file to the OE6 store folder but this didn't do the trick- OE just created another file with a (1) next to it for use instead... Also, is there a way to backup which newsgroups were subscribed to which news accounts? I organize my newsgroups by keeping them under 7 different OE accounts (they all use the same news server) so it won't be trivial matter to simply re-subscribe to all the groups. Thanks
