    ----- That "Waiting for BUSY nodes" part is suspicious! -----

    Yes, it is. That can be a problem. Mystic doesn't toss or scan if there are busy nodes, it'll do the toss and scan after the outbound is not
    busy.

    This just made me think (dangerous I know)... ;)

    Check this option in the .ini file you use to export mail:


    [ExportEchoMail]

    ; Do not export messages from users currently online
    skip_online = false


    I have mine set to false so that mail is sent even if I'm still connected to the board.

    Carol mentioned to me "You might want to grab more echos because you have 1 set up right now."

    Is that something that gets fixed with Areafix? I never used areafix before, because Scinet and Metronet (Netsurge & Exodus) seemed to hav that preconfigured for me, so I was already signed up for all the ech

    Yes, you can connect/disconnect/rescan any areas at any time with
    Areafix.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to be subscribed to an echo before you can also send to it?

    It made things a lot easier having a step-by-step guide on how to do variou things & you get to listen to a soothing kiwi accent while you learn! ;)

    Sounds relaxing! lol

    I read his Mystic wiki (I think it's his Mystic wiki) but I bet the videos can be helpful too, possibly covering stuff that was left out of the wiki.

    Thanks for the link and I will review them to see what else I may have missed.
