Here's how my tests went with the "suspect" FSXNet compressed mail bundles  
you kindly sent me .....

[1] Configured a "dummy" FSXNet server.

[2] Manually unpacked the compressed mail bundle into a temporary           
    directory, which resulted in four mail packets(.pkt) sitting in the     
    temporary directory.

[3] Selected OpenXP -> Import -> Read other format.

[4] Navigated my way to the temporary directory.

[5] Hit  over the first .pkt file.

[6] In the dialogue that popped up, I selected the "dummy" FSXNet server    
    by pressing  and then pressing .

[7] Pressed  on the following two options, which took me back to     
    OpenXP's area list screen.

[8] Repeated steps [3] to [7] for the other three mail packets.

I now have an FSXNet netmail area containing two messages and an FSXNet  
echomail area containing seven messages.

No errors encountered anywhere along the way.

Sorry but I cannot reproduce your problem.

Regards,
Martin
