Ok, this is confusing me somewhat.

I'm trying to get FastEcho to import netmail messages into the message base. I didn't realise till just today that it was not doing that. I do not understand why either. I have netmails that are addressed to me sitting in the fts1 directory, waiting to be imported, but when I run feutil import or even feutil import -force, nothing gets imported.

Anyone ever see this before? Anyone got any tips?

Thanks!
Dan

Is your BBSs netmail base type supported? It would need to be either a JAM
or Squish type. If so do you have a netmail base setup in the areas that
FE can import the mail into?

If you run FEUTIL IMPORT from the command line you may see a clue on the screen as to why. If those netmail messages have already been read they
may not get imported too.

That's about all I can think of, hope that helps.

that's not a restriction... HMB areas are supported, too...

that may be part of the problem... or...

he may have it set to not import netmail addressed to the sysop... my system is
set this way... i have to read my netmail from frontdoor but my users all get theirs on the bbs... i'd kinda like to have mine available via either or but RA
doesn't do MSG areas and i'm not going to copy them and have them in both...

I did have it set to import for the sysop (Exclusde sysop set to NO, use users.bbs set to NO, etc...) it constantly refused to import netmail. I grabbed
the FMail I downloaded earlier and tried it, it imported the messages first try. I don't know whats up.
