Hey All,
My BBS can send and receive emails, however if I receive an email on my BBS address (vela025@beebs.ddns.net) Synchronet succesfully forwards the email to my personal email addess, but it does not appear in my email messages within the BBS (selecting E from the main menu, followed by R). Is there a setting i need to change so that the email is both forwarded and remains visable from within the BBS?

That's not an option. When the message is forwarded, it's deleted in the BBS's mail base.
As Digital Man says, the forwarded message is deleted. I would probably use something like fetchmail that'll pick up the messages in your account and shuffle them somewhere else. Not an ideal solution but a workaround to keep messages in 2 places.

that sounds like a good idea for an option, though. why not have both.

My BBS can send and receive emails, however if I receive an email
on my BBS address (vela025@beebs.ddns.net) Synchronet succesfully
forwards the email to my personal email addess, but it does not
appear in my email messages within the BBS (selecting E from the
main menu, followed by R). Is there a setting i need to change so
that the email is both forwarded and remains visable from within
the BBS? I think everything is working fine as I get the
notification when I log in to the BBS to say that the email has
been received and forwarded. Any help welcome,
I requested a similar feature about a year ago:
https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/593
Unfortunately it didn't get implemented, so I chose to add my BBS
email account to my devices using pop3s for PC, Laptop, Phone, rather
than have the email duplicated into two mailboxes.
outgoing email. There aren't 2 copies of the email and the one that is stored is an outbound email or netmail message, not visible to the user. So not deleting it wouldn't help.
You'd have to create 2 copies of the incoming email (one for the local mail base, visible to the user and one for delivery/forwarding to the external mail address), and that seems convoluted and silly to me. Not impossible however.

gitlab, where good ideas go to die ;)
Trying to do this in Thunderbird. Having a hard time getting them to shake hands. Possibly how to do the passwords?
If you're referring to pop3 - make sure its running on your sbbs installation.
I use pop3s, so thats tcp/995 to receive and I use submission to send to thats tcp/587.
