In other words, after polling each        MF>> BossNode in turn, I have three copies of each message in each respective        MF>> area folder in my echomail folder tree.               MF>> However, I know from past experience that if I'm linked into *different*        MF>> areas at each BossNode, WinPoint *does* create a separate echomail tree        MF>> for each BossNode.               AA> OH! OK, if the echoname is the same, in either feed, then WinPoint dumps        AA> it in just the first one in your side panel?              Yes, that's correct.               AA> What do you have for Extras/Options/Tosser/Dupes? Wouldn't that deal        AA> with it?              I have "Toss to DUPES" but they're not dupes because they've been        picked up from three different BossNodes.               AA> But I guess you *want* a kind of redundancy: some of the same echos from        AA> more than one Boss? MAN.. you are one super uber user. ;)              Yeah, it's what's known as a "belt and braces" approach ;-))               AA> But.. how can Winpoint be configured to be multi-point? If you are        AA> 2:250/1.1 with 2:250/1, how can you be a completely different point with        AA> another Boss? ..or am I missing something.              You're missing something :-))              There are three stages to configuring this:              Stage 1       -------       - Extras/Options/Uplinks Tab.       - Click the Add button at the right-hand side in the Systems pane.       - Enter all the relevant information in each of the four Tabs(you         probably won't need to bother with the Fileliste Tab?).       - Once you've done all that, click the OK button.              You should now see a new "Mailbox" in the Systems pane.              Stage 2       -------       - Click the Add button at the right-hand side of the Fidostyle Uplinks         pane, which brings up the New Uplink Wizard.       - Click the Weiter button but be aware, everything's in German.       - Enter the relevant information on the page and then click the Weiter         button which takes you to the next page.        NOTE: there are four pages in total and on the first three pages,         you can go back to the previous page by clicking the Zuruck button         but on the fourth page there's NO GOING BACK!       - When you get to the fourth page, click the Schliessen button.              You should now see a new entry in the Fidostyle Uplinks pane.              Stage 3       -------       - Make sure the new Uplink is highlighted in the Fidostyle Uplinks         pane and click the Properties button.       - On the Allgemeines Tab, click the down-arrow in the Mailbox field         and click the new Mailbox you configured in Stage 1.       - Check the settings on all the Tabs and edit any that may need         changing.              Job done! :-)              Regards,       Martin              --- OpenXP 5.0.36        * Origin: Bitz-Box - Bradford - UK (2:310/31.3)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/17 229/107 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/624 854 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2452/250       PATH: 310/31 280/464 229/426           |
