 AI> Is your BBSs netmail base type supported? It would need to be

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

 AI> If so do you have a netmail base setup in the
 AI> areas that FE can import the mail into?

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

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

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...
