Disabling IO port probing is a very bad idea unless you're very sure
about what you're doing.  My guess is that you've now got an IO port
conflict, which is causing reads and writes to the card to sometimes
have unexpected results.

Rather than disabling the IO probe, it would be much better to play
with the IO port windows in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to find a setting
that doesn't cause a freeze.

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
