FYI, I just looged onto my web interface and there is a option for e-mail in
the left column. Click that it shows received email.  Above that there is a
button for New Email.  Remember, you can send either fowarded netmail
(name@x:xxx/xxx) or email (name@whatever.com) from that screen.  If you want to
create an areafix type in the to:   

The fact remains you still need to tell Synch where your netmail folder is and
I explained above.  Synch will put it in that folder and generate a semaphore
for your mailer. Synch is smart but not that smart as to take a guess where the
netmail goes.

Good luck...
