Sorry for such a big quoting, but it is required :-)

If we can trust to Odinn's goldusr.txt then you have to set QWKCONFMAP 
vise-versa to import them in areas "2", "3" (why is so strange echoids? :)):

  QWKCONFMAP <bbsid> ["]<confname>["] <echoid>
      Defines the mapping between the BBSID and conference names in
      the QWK packets and the echoid name of the conference as
      required by GoldED. You MUST define a mapping for every
      conference that you subscribe to. If you don't, the messages
      will be tossed to the area defined by QWKBADMSGS or disappear.
      The <bbsid> is the name listed on line 5 in CONTROL.DAT after
      the comma. The <confname> is the conference names listed on line
      13 and on alternate lines onwards in CONTROL.DAT. If a
      conference name contains embedded spaces, the <confname> must be
      enclosed in double quotes, like this: "Main Board". The area
       <echoid> must be already defined either in an AREAFILE or using
       the AREADEF or AREA keywords.

The 13'th line is the "General", and not the "2". If you still have problems I 
can look into the sources of the latest GoldED+. From the other side I never 
had any QWK packet here so you will need to provide one for testing if 
something goes wrong :-)

WBR, Alexander
