Hello everybody!

Using a point aka, I sent a %HELP and got this in return:

FMail AreaMgr status report for 618:500/1.2 on 618:500/1

You are connected to 17 areas.

Node status : ACTIVE
Notify : OFF
Compression : None
- available : NONE ARC ZIP

Use %HELP in a message to FMail for more information.

How do I get it to respond to %HELP commands properly :)

Is there a Linux GUI (or even TUI) for FTools these days? Or do you still have to do the initial configuration in Windows?

Asking for a friend.. for science. ;)

Yes, FMail/Tools/Config is fully linux native compatible since this release:

2024-03-30 - 2.3.1.0

This release is mainly about the release of fconfig for linux.
So FMail is now fully linux compatible.

"Science" no less! ;-)

I feel like I knew this at one time, and forgot, and now it has been almost 2 years. :/
