Hi Oleg,

 OP> Sure! :) And yet, how to migrate best?

As far as I know, there is no conversion utility for the fastecho config to
fmail. So I don't think there is an easy way, unless you can write your
own...?

The FMail doc has this to say about it:

"""
2.1       Converting config files of other echomail processors

FSetup has the capability to import the configuration files of a
number of other echomail processors: IMAIL, TosScan and all
programs that can export AREAS.BBS file. Before using this
capability however, you first should enter all node numbers you
will be using and include the fakenet numbers you are using, if
any. This way, FMail will automatically convert all fakenet
addresses in the configuration files into 4-dimensional addresses
that are used by FMail.

IMPORTANT:

1.        Always check the imported configuration files.
2.        The archiver  program to  be used  will not  be converted
          correctly in the node manager.
"""

and

"""
3.5.1     Import Config

The option "Import config" allows you to import AREAS.BBS,
FOLDER.FD and area and node configuration files of three other
popular echomail processors: IMAIL (version 1.20), TosScan and
GEcho. In some cases you have the choice whether to use the area
tag or to use the comment to identify an area in the config file
that is created by FSetup.

A special option is Import RA info. It imports RA security
information into an EXISTING FMail areas file. If you do not
already have an FMail areas file, enter the information manually
in the Area Manager or use one of the other import functions
first. When you start the Import RA info option, the program will
try to find security information in MESSAGES.RA for each area that
is defined in FMail.Ar and insert it in that file.
"""

I have never tried this myself, and I don't know if fastecho can export AREAS.BBS ?

Maybe someone else who has experience with both has some ideas?

Bye, Wilfred.
