Hello again, g00r00!

There must be more to it than that. Have you tried the same test with
fresh install?
No, not yet -- but if your screenshot (*if* there is/should be one for
I have now tried a fresh install in a temporary directory:
bbs@glimmer:~$ cd build/mystic/mys112a47_210730_190055/ bbs@glimmer:~/build/mystic/mys112a47_210730_190055$ ./install auto /tmp/mystic bbs@glimmer:/tmp/mystic$ export mysticbbs=/tmp/mystic
Created a "sysop" account. Upgraded it to s255.
Added the /UNREAD flag to the (C)heck for E-mail menu option in the messages menu:

Logged in with ./mystic -l as "sysop".
Entered the message menu.
Tried to (W)rite a test e-mail to myself ("sysop").
Got "User not found"?
Not sure why -- the "sysop" account showed in the user list...
Created another user "Zip", upgraded it to s20.
Logged in with ./mystic -l as "Zip".
Entered the message menu.
(W)rote two test e-mails to myself ("Zip").
Called (C)heck for E-mail.
It displays:

For the record, (V)iew Outbound E-mail displays:

...which is fine.
So there appears to be something -- perhaps only on Linux? -- affecting what MC /UNREAD displays when checking for e-mail/prompting the user...
Best regards

P.S. I see that in the default installation, "Local BBS E-mail" is hidden from the "Default Message Group" using a List ACS of "%". To distinguish it from other, "conventional" message bases and to force e-mail usage via only (C)heck for E-mail and (V)iew Outbound E-mail, I guess. But is there really any harm in letting it be included (and displayed) in the Default Message Group? Apart from it not being that "exclusive" any longer? Will it break in some way if one (P)osts a Message to that e-mail base? Just curious if there are other differences deep down inside Mystic. And if I perhaps should revert to List ACS "%" just to be on the safe side. :) D.S.
