• Help, I really borked up my mystic install

    From martin@21:2/114 to all on Mon Feb 6 13:25:08 2023
    Hey guys,

    I messed up, I run mystic a47 on win32 and it was purring along as always. Then a48 happened and I wanted to update, I downloaded the zip and did a test install to a temp dir on the same C: drive as my active bbs to check it out.

    I know, I know, I'm am idiot. I opened cmd and do a mystic -cfg to have a look at sweet sweet a48 and it seems to have written over my a47 data folder as my netmail and local email accounts are now corrupted.

    Is there an easier way to reset netmail and local email than to blow it all away and start over? I have echomail from five othernets (almost a gig of data) and don't want to lose it all. Having to rebuild everything in Message Base Editor is filling me with dread as well.

    Please tell my you've done this and there IS an easy fix.

    ugh!
