Hi everyone,

Just a quick test to see if this message goes through, as all my Dove-net message base became corrupted... So i deleted the whole message area and restarted !

Is there a way to retrieve historical messages instead of getting only new messages ?

Thanks,
ElGringo

Yes, a couple ways, at least. But basically you want to set your message pointers back to some earlier point in time on Vertrauen. You can do this by logging on (e.g. via Telnet) with your QWKnet account or you can use remote QWK control commands issued from your BBS to Vertrauen:
