There were default commands for a number of different archivers incorporated into Mystic's configuration many years ago. Those commands may or may not need to be updated to reflect potential changes in the archivers. They are definitely /not/ native to Mystic.

You could accomplish never having to worry about these events running at the same time by running your poll once per hour like you're doing, and mutil only executing when semaphore file(s) exist:

Description: Toss incoming echomail
Event Type:  Semaphore
Exec Hour:   0
Exec Min:    0
Shell:       /path/to/mutil import.ini
Prefix ./:   No
Semapohre:   echomail.in|netmail.in
Kill After:  echomail.in|netmail.in

Description: Scan outgoing echomail
Event Type:  Semaphore
Exec Hour:   0
Exec Min:    0
Shell:       /path/to/mutil export.ini|/path/to/mis poll send
Prefix ./:   No
Semapohre:   echomail.out|netmail.out
Kill After:  echomail.out|netmail.out

Once your poll is done, I believe mis automatically creates echomail.in or netmail.in if mail is received. Those can trigger the above first event to run. Just as well, when you post a message, echomail.out or netmail.out is automatically created and would trigger the second event to run, which also includes a poll to your uplink to send your packets/bundles right away (unless you want to send them hourly when your timed poll occurs). The "|" can be used to stack commands and/or separate filenames in Mystic's config.
