Strange Newsgroup Error

I'm accessing 10 Microsoft newsgroups from Windows Mail via the
Microsoft server msnews.microsoft.com. A couple of days ago 3 of them,
including microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail, started producing "An
unknown error has occurred" message whenever I tried to download new
messages. The associated error code is 80004005.

The other 7 newsgroups are working fine. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I'm running Vista Home Premium. Unsubscribing and resubscribing doesn't
solve the problem.

Problem solved. It was a corrupt message store, fixed by using WMUtil.
