@CLS@ MarkMail Help - Select Forums
-----------------------------
This is where you decide which conferences you wish to extract
mail from. When you entered Markmail the first time, you had no
conferences selected. Therefore you must select the conferences
you wish to extract messages from if you wish to receive any
messages.
When choosing the [S]elect conferences option, you're provided
a list of the first thirty conferences in the bbs. To select a
conference simply enter its number. If you press <enter> alone
Markmail will display the NEXT 30 conferences. If you enter a
number that is not being displayed, Markmail will now automat-
ically display a new page of conferences containing the number
you had entered.
When you choose a conference by entering its number, Markmail
displays a sub menu like this one:
Selected Conference: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Currently: Not Selected
High Message Number: xxxxx Select [N]one, [A]ll, [Y]our,
Last Read Pointer: xxxxx or [YA] for Yours and TO: ALL ?
You then choose one of the four options based on how much mail you
wish to extract out of this conference.
Here are the options in detail:
[N]one - Deselects this conference, removes it from your list
[A]ll - Tells Markmail to extract ALL messages
[Y]our - Extracts only messages sent to YOU
[YA] - Extracts messages only to YOU and to ALL
Once you have decided which of the above you wish, enter the
selection followed by <enter>, and Markmail will display the
submenu shown here:
High Message Number: xxxxx Input New Pointer
Last Read Pointer: xxxxx or [Enter] for no change?
Markmail displays the highest message in the conference, and
displays the last message you have read in the conference, and
asks you for a new pointer. By default, Markmail leaves your
pointer alone, and will extract all mail since then. If you wish
less mail, enter a number higher than your current pointer. If
you wish more, enter a number lower than your current pointer.
CAUTION should be used when entering a pointer. If you have not
read any messages in this conference before now, or if you
haven't read any messages in a while, Markmail is likely to
extract an enormous number of messages from this conference. A
good rule of thumb is to set your pointer to the high message
number minus 100.
