Hi there.

You would want to delete the old message bases from your BBS and ensure you are delinked from them at your HUB (assuming your HUB admin has not already done this for you).

If we do end up pruning some echomail areas and merging things down to a few new ones I will ensure the old messages are copied across to the new echomail areas.

You can then either manually add any newly established echomail areas to your BBS (assuming we set up a few new ones)  or set your BBS to auto-create them when messages are sent to them and to your BBS from your HUB.

Once the HUB has made any changes to available echomail areas you may want to do an areafix to list and confirm you are linked to them.

I would then send a Areafix request to the HUB to request a rescan of the contents of the new echomail areas so that the HUB sends your BBS all the messages it has on hand for the new bases you're after.
