Now that I'm dealing <G> . . . my email program stores messages with a name other than anything that one usually associates with an email subject, etc. Am I to assume, therefore, that I can't use Cory to "find" the messages containing definitions and/or votes?

Your email client must support MAPI (mail API). Most do. If yours does not,
then the Email button on the Messages tab is greyed out.

Otherwise, when you ask Coryphæus to import email messags directly from your
email client, you have various options, but there are also some restrictions
on what it can do.

The messages have to be in your Inbox or equivalent: that is a MAPI
restriction. If you routinely reroute Dixonary messages to some other
folder, then you may have to temporarily move them back to Inbox so that
MAPI can see them. This is the most likely reason why Coryphæus can't find
them.

You can ask Coryphæus to read all the messages in your inbox, or only unread
messages. Generally you will already have read the message when you want to
import it. But some MAPI implementations ignore it when you change a message
back to unread, so you may have to tell Coryphæus to read all messages,
because MAPI is telling it there are no unread ones, even though you marked
them unread: it knows that you really did read them. This is the next most
likely reason why Coryphæus can't see messages that are clearly there.

This will probably cause it to import a couple of unrelated emails. Just
mark them as Unrelated when you encounter them on the message tab.

You can usefully set a time limit. The default starting time is when you
created the round.

You can ask Coryphæus to filter on content: it will look in the subject line
and the message text for the word or the round number. I don't really
understand "storing messages with a name other than anything that one
usually associates with an email subject" ... that sounds like it changes
the subject line (!?). But if it does, then you will probably need to import
without content filtering.

Sorry if this sounds a bit vague, but I'm not even sure if I understand the
problem. I'm guessing that you have tried to import messages and come up
empty handed, but I can't comment sensibly on the diagnosis without knowing
the symptoms.

No, it's not grayed out. Here's the error message in the log (which I just discovered):

MAPI logon failed, error 3 (LOGON FAILURE). This indicates a MAPI configuration problem. Coryph23 Logon 148

What I meant by the file-name issue -- but can't explain very well <sigh> -- is that emails are stored in a text file. When I delete them, they show up in the recycle bin as things like this: FEEFAE0D-AE8D-4103-9547-19A2D1AC1EFB. I was wondering whether Cory sees those -- or the messages (with subjects) as I see them within my email program (Express Plus).
