   As I recall, to fix meant you unsubscribed from a newsgroup, cleared it   
   (delete the local cache of articles), and resubscribed to the newsgroup.   
   However, I also recall that a problem at the NNTP server could result in   
   renumbering the articles, like after a restore, and the client gets out   
   of sync (article numbers don't match).  You make the client refresh its   
   articles for a newsgroup to get the new article enumeration.   
      
   Maybe the OP's client ran out of space in the database, and needs to run   
   a compact.  OE's .dbx file has a limit of 2GB.

   When you delete a message in OE, it is NOT removed from the database.   
   It merely gets marked with a "Deleted" flag to thereafter hide it from   
   view.  It still occupies space in the database until the database gets   
   compacted.  However, some users disabled compaction (perhaps with a   
   registry edit or config setting), because compaction could corrupt the   
   message store.
