I am running Mystic A47 Win32 on Windows 10 32bit. I set up echo mail so each network has it's own out directory ie: c:\mystic\echomail\out\fidonet\ I have noticed there is a bunch of extra directories there now like c:\mystic\echomail\out\fidonet.001 or argoranet.02e Can I delete the entries and what causes them to be created?

The directory format for Binkley-style FidoNet is very specific so if you try to change it for any reasons you will break things both with Mystic and any other mail processor you use. You can specify the primary outbound directory, but other directories will be created if you have more than one network or address in compliance with the BSO (binkley-style-outbound standard).

The default c:\mystic\echomail\out\primary\ is a good default to use or if thats too long maybe do "c:\mystic\echoout\primary" or something, as other directories will be created alongside the "primary" directory for other networks and addresses.

If you want a directory for each network you can probably do that just by setting your primary address to your FidoNet address and then setting the primary outbound to "c:\mystic\echomail\out\fidonet\".

Then you will end up with something like this:

Contents of c:\mystic\echomail\out:

fidonet
agoranet.02e
scinet
etc

Good to know, I double check things but so far everything is working correctly.

That's what I have c:\mystic\echomail\out\primary 'my fsxnet directory'
\fidonet
\scinet
\hobbynet
\agoranet
etc...
It's all working so I will keep it as is.
Thanks for the explanations and the work you do on Mystic.
