I believe Steve Gibson w/ GRC has a fork of Gravity updated to deal with 
some date issue.  You might give that a try.  --  I'm not a Windows 
user, so I don't have any experience.

I am a long time Thunderbird user -- now mostly because I haven't found 
an acceptable replacement.

Occasionally I need to right click on a newsgroup, go to the newsgroup's 
properties, and click repair.  That will cause Thunderbird to 
re-download messages, or at least the last X number of messages.  That 
usually helps when working with a specific newsgroup gets too large.

Sadly, with all the spam emanating from Google Groups, newsgroups are 
growing a lot quicker, even if things do get cleaned up after the fact.
