Not yet, although based on Mystic Guy's video tutorials, it didn't seem like that was necessary. Maybe something changed since then, the videos are a bit old.

Ah that makes sense. I see the default_rescan in the [ImportEchoMail] section of the mutil ini.. For the ini I was using it's set to the default of R=250. I'm still new to the architecture here, but my guess is that mis POLL uses something else to request a rescan.

 g0> I can help you figure that out if we think that is the correct next step!

If you can think of any low-hanging-fruit for me to check that'd be cool. Otherwise I'll wait until I get my real node address and start real troubleshooting from there.

Thanks!
