Personal Mail Conference
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Power-QWK defines a 'conference' as two files: one to hold
messages downloaded from a particular conference in an Online
Service such as Direct-Line, the other to contain an index to
the messages in the first file.
A conference is automatically created by Power-QWK whenever you
download mail from a new (to Power-QWK) conference in an Online
Service.
These conferences contain ALL mail, whether Personal or Public,
and, when reading a conference, you can elect either to read in
chronological order or to read all Personal mail before all
Public mail.
However, you can also ask Power-QWK to set up a conference
especially to receive all Personal mail. Such mail will still
be applied to the conference of origin but will also be placed in
your Personal Conference where it can be viewed more easily and
can have pruning rules different to those of the main conferences.
For instance, you might elect to discard all Public mail on a
weekly basis but keep your Personal mail for some months or even
for ever.
If you elect to have a Personal Mail conference then you can also
choose to have Personal messages automatically marked as read when
you read General conferences. This avoids reading Personal mail
twice (in the Personal conference and in the general conference
of origin).
