• echomail dupes

    From Zylone@21:3/150 to All on Thu Aug 19 03:06:43 2021
    Hey everyone.. to make a long story short.. I messed up my echomail and I started over with the group/bases in my config. Now, when I do an areafix rescan, it just ignores all the older messages because it thinks they are dupes.

    Is there any way I can reover from this mishap?

    Thanks!

    You might want to remove echodupes.dat from the Mystic data directory -- I believe that's the one keeping track of what's a duplicate and not.

    You are my hero! That did it!

    Now.. this gets me back to where I started when I broke it the first time. Obviously I have 10's of thousands of messages. When I set the 'New Scan
    Date' it only updates about have the bases.... so there are still 10k+ new messages for me.

    Another thing I noticed, is like this thread for example. If I load my origional message that was sent, the ']' option doesn't forward to your
    reply.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you for helping me on the dupes by the way!!

    You'll need to run LinkMessages in mutil to get those linked back up.

    ./mutil -run LinkMessages

    Will do the trick, but you'll want to run this semi-regularly. I have LinkMessages set to in my mailin.ini file

    time. Obviously I have 10's of thousands of messages. When I set the

    Hmm, did you answer "yes" to the "update last read pointer for all bases" or something similar (don't remember the exact wording)?

    Otherwise, try changing your scanned bases (Z) and selecting all, then set the newscan date, then change back the newscan base setting to the bases you want, and see if it updates the newscan date correctly then...

    Another thing I noticed, is like this thread for example. If I load my origional message that was sent, the ']' option doesn't forward to your reply.

    Hmm, are you running the LinkMessages task with mutil?
    That one is required for the "threading" to work, I think.

    Yes sir, I forget the name of it now as well.. but when I select a date I
    tell it to do all other bases as well. I just tried selecting all bases (they were already selected) with no change.

    I wasn't, but I am now! =) That fixed up that issue!

    Yep that's the one.

    You will need to run the linking function.

    Wow - I've never run this command ever before; and you know I have FTNs pumping thru 2o something fierce. I still don't know ... the full story with my FTN setup.

    Guess I *really* need to take a beginners class.

    Maybe with Avon going into lockdown he can come up with a Udemy class or something he can charge for... ;)
