   Hello g00r00!   
      
   Thank you for your reply and for the clarifications!   
      
   On 27 Jul 2021, g00r00 said the following...   
    g0> unread messages.  The personalscan sounds exactly what you want!  Give   
    g0> that a look and let me know if there is something you want to change and   
    g0> I can walk you through it.   
      
   Thanks, yes, that's the one I copied to my theme and modified slightly.   
      
   I added /NOSCAN and /NEW to MQ -- to skip displaying area names during the   
   actual scanning, and to skip areas with nothing new in them. That appears to   
   work just fine.   
      
   I also added /NOLR to MN, as I do not want to update last read pointers (I want   
   to be able catch up on echomails afterwards, which would be ruined otherwise).   
      
   All this works fine, *except* that if MQ finds something (again, the MQ output   
   is perfectly fine!), so that one gets the choice of running the MN, the MN   
   *might* find slightly *more* messages (namely new messages from me to others,   
   not only from me to me or from others to me). So that's the only "oddity"   
   with all this.   
      
   If there were an MN option to exclude messages that are *not* to me, i.e. to   
   narrow /P to messages that *are* to me, the global personal scan would   
   function just as I would expect it to. So it's very close. =)   
      
    g0> and you are trying to change e-mail access?  You'd almost never want to   
    g0> change the e-mail access or settings (outside of visual stuff). The   
    g0> e-mail system is not a message base.   
      
   That explains a few things. =)   
      
   What would the recommended ACS fields be for a local private area (local "PMs"   
   between users), and a local non-private area (local "conference"),   
   respectively?   
      
   Right now I have adjusted to (for a local "private" area):   
      
   Name        ³ Private Messages (PMs)    
   Base Type   ³ Local   
   List ACS    ³ g1   
   Read ACS    ³   
   Post ACS    ³ !fa   
   Sysop ACS   ³ s255g1   
   List EACS   ³ %   
   Private      ³ Yes   
      
   ...and (for a local "conference"):   
      
   Name        ³ General Messages   
   Base Type   ³ Local   
   List ACS    ³ g1   
   Read ACS    ³   
   Post ACS    ³ s20&!fb   
   Sysop ACS   ³ s255g1   
   List EACS   ³ %   
   Private      ³ No   
      
   (The fa and fb flags are to be able to disable posting by "troublesome"   
   users, if needed.)   
      
   Thanks in advance!   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
