If the Sysop of this BBS has made more than one compression method available, use this option to select your preference. ~~ :B @X0B(@X0EB@X0B) @X0FBulletins:@X02 This is a Yes/No toggle switch. When set to Yes will cause to collect the BBS bulletins from each conference you selected to scan and include them in your mail packet. The offline RDR's have built in routines to display them. ~~ :C @X0B(@X0EC@X0B) @X0FSelect Conferences:@X02 You will be presented one or more screens which show all available conferences. When you select a conference for scanning, you must select one of three methods of message scanning. They are: (A)ll - Scan all messages. (P)ersonal - Scan only personal messages to you. (T)o All + Personal - Scan personal and "To All" messages. In addition, you are given the opportunity to set your last- read message pointer in each conference. Depending on the system and/or conference, the number of available messages might range from perhaps a 100 to over several thousand, in which case you will probably want to set your pointer somewhere near the higher end of available messages. Note: Conferences may also be selected/unselected by creating messages offline and addressing them to either KMAIL or QMAIL. Both EZ-RDR and SLMR mail readers have options to create messages of the proper format to perform this function. ~~ :D @X0B(@X0ED@X0B) @X0FDownload Messages:@X02 This command starts the process of collecting messages from all of the conferences that you have selected to scan. The messages and perhaps other files such as NEWS and Bulletins are compressed into a file with a .QWK extension and sent to you via your selected transfer protocol. ~~ :F @X0B(@X0EF@X0B) @X0FSend New Files List:@X02 This is a Yes/No toggle switch. When set to Yes will cause Kmail to scan the BBS for files that have been uploaded since your last time on the system and include this information in your mail packet. ~~ :G @X0B(@X0EG@X0B) @X0FGoodbye@X02 This command may be entered at the main menu or as part of a stacked command upon opening the door. It will log you off the system and hangup the phone. ~~ :GEN @X0B(@X0EGEN@X0B) @X0FGeneral Information:@X02 The purpose of a mail door is to quickly gather messages and other BBS information into a downloadable "mail packet" which can then be viewed offline at your convenience. This allows more time for you to do other things and also allows more time for other users. Once you have become familiar with using the KMail door, you may wish to try one of the following methods of quick starting the door directly from the main PCBoard menu screen. KMAIL D (Open Kmail, Download) KMAIL D Y (Open Kmail, Download, Yes to Receive) KMAIL D Y G (Open Kmail, Download, Yes to Receive, Goodbye) KMAIL D G (Same as above but with 10 sec countdown to Goodbye) KMAIL U (Open Kmail, Upload Replies) ~~ :K @X0B(@X0EK@X0B) @X0FKill PreZip Packet:@X02 If you have a mail packet waiting that has been prezipped by the Sysop this option may be used to delete the prezip mail packet if for some reason you don't wish to receive it. ~~ :N @X0B(@X0EN@X0B) @X0FSend System News File?@X02 This is a Yes/No toggle switch. When enabled will cause KMail to include the NEWS file from the main system area in your mail packet. Depending on the configuration of this system, you may receive the NEWS file with every mail packet or only when it has been updated since your last call. ~~ :O @X0B(@X0EO@X0B) @X0FDownload Own Messages?@X02 This is a Yes/No toggle switch. The question is asking if you want to download messages that you have personally uploaded. In other words, do you want to receive messages from yourself? ~~ :P @X0B(@X0EP@X0B) @X0FProcess PTR File?@X02 This option is used to reset your message pointers back to that of a previous day. Each mail packet that you download includes a file called "KMAIL.PTR" which contains a list of your current msg pointers. If a need arises to restore your message pointers back to a previous day and you have one or more .QWK packets available, simply extract the KMAIL.PTR file from the appropriate .QWK packet and use the (P) option to upload the pointer file to KMail. THE KMAIL.PTR FILE MUST NOT BE EDITED OR ALTERED IN ANY WAY!!! ~~ :Q @X0B(@X0EQ@X0B) @X0FQuit@X02 This command will close the KMail door and return you to PCBoard. ~~ :R @X0B(@X0ER@X0B) @X0FReset Msg Pointers?@X02 This option is used to adjust your last-read message pointer, as required, in one or more conferences. The conference in question must have been previously selected for scanning in order to reset the pointer. One or more conference menu screens are presented which list all available conferences. Note: Last-read pointers may also be reset by creating offline messages and addressing them to either KMAIL or QMAIL. Both EZ-RDR and SLMR mail readers have options to create messages of the proper format to perform this function. ~~ :S @X0B(@X0ES@X0B) @X0FSet all Last-Read Ptr's?@X02 This option will set your last-read message pointer equal to the high message # in each of your selected conferences. You will rarely if ever need this function. It is provided in case the need arises. ~~ :T @X0B(@X0ET@X0B) @X0FTransfer Protocol?@X02 The default transfer protocol is Zmodem. If the System Operator of this BBS has made additional protocols available, use this option to select your preferred protocol. A menu of available protocols will be presented. ~~ :U @X0B(@X0EU@X0B) @X0FUpload Messages:@X02 If you have created messages or replies using an offline reader this option is used to send them to the BBS for insertion into the appropriate conference. KMail expects to receive a file with a .REP extension. Messages are only accepted in conferences that you have previously selected to scan. ~~ :X @X0B(@X0EX@X0B) @X0FExpert Toggle:@X02 This is an On/Off toggle switch. When set to the On position, a single command line showing a partial list of options is presented rather than the full menu screen. ~~ :Y @X0B(@X0EY@X0B) @X0FD/L all Msgs addressed to YOU:@X02 This option will scan ALL selected conferences for messages addressed specifically to you. The process starts with the lowest message in each conference. Message pointers are not changed or altered in any way during this function. This function is mainly used to obtain a complete set of your messages in one packet. ~~
