what message base format are you using?? do the directories and/or files
for those areas actually exist? i get the same thing on my system when new
areas are set up... i use JAM bases for all my areas... i just let it go
until some mail actually arrives to be placed in the areas... i could,
however, create the areas via one of my editors, though... when FE tosses
mail to those areas, they will be fully created at that time... currently,
though, the data files are not there and it rightfully lets you know... no
problems there...
