I'm just now trying out OE for Microsoft's news groups. It only downloads
headers as old as 12-2008. Is there a way to get it to download older ones?

Older messages may not exist, Microsoft's newsgroups are routinely flushed
of older messages to make room for mew ones.

Not likely from that server. I assume that OE allows you to have more than
one news server at the same time; if so, these free news servers are likely
to keep those messages longer, at the cost of not trying so hard to filter
out spam:
