- @CLS@@X0F 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.
