Okay so let me recap:

The first thing you mentioned was bases showing up in a group scan.  That was happening because you didn't have your message base in a group, so it shows up in all groups.

Next I believe you mentioned wanting to do a global scan of personal messages. There is a personalscan menu that comes with the default installation that does a global scan of message bases for new personal unread messages.  The personalscan sounds exactly what you want!  Give that a look and let me know if there is something you want to change and I can walk you through it.

In this message it looks like you're showing the e-mail base settings and you are trying to change e-mail access?  You'd almost never want to change the e-mail access or settings (outside of visual stuff).  The e-mail system is not a message base.

 BW> Is there some way to make this work, allowing it to display new e-mails
 BW> regardless of the current area?

It already does that as e-mail has nothing to do with the current message area or group. Email is not a message base, it is its own separate thing. The reason its not working now is because you changed the access to e-mail to require group 2 so e-mail will never work unless they're in group 2.

I'm not very clear on what exactly you're trying to do with the e-mail base/access but once I understand everything I can walk you through how to do it.
