That's for getting new messages from the newsgroups. Don't Synchronize
means don't ever get the new messages. All Messages will get all
messages in the groups you are subscribed to. New Messages only
synchronizes your email client to the newsgroup for New Messages only
and ignores old messages. Headers only just downloads the headers to the
messages and not the message bodies so it saves space.
