Hi there,

i spend many time in WinPoint and the problems, the program have.

After a while, the program dont will import any messages after a few polls. 
My first idea, my BBS dont will move messages to the point anymore.
But i was wrong.

In the message import folder were many files.
The error... Winpoint dont will uncompress files anymore... so you cant import the messages.
After manually uncompressing files, the tosser put the files and messages into the right place. 

I think there is a compatiblity problem with windows 10/11 and the integrated unrar.dll.

In the menu, you can change the integratet packers to another program.
So i changed it first to winace and after that to 7zip and all worked well without any problem. 

Nodelist also will importet and sortet. Pointlists are not available in fsxnet i think ?!

The last problem is the netmail.
You can send Netmails from Winpoint but incoming netmails dont will imported. It looks like, Winpoint cant see the Netmail folder inside the BBS ?

Next step is, to make a local test netmail folder with a echotag, so i can flag it inside Winpoint. Maybe i can solve the problem on this way ?

All configurations, inside the bbs takes no effect to netmail export to winpoint. 

This was a little report :) 

Good Night
