   Hi Jonathan!   
      
   There could be any number of reasons for your troubles and I will do my best to   
   help get it sorted out.   
      
   I believe FSX has to use a temporary echomail address when you first join. Have   
   you received your permanent address?   
      
   If you have then it could also be that FSX does not automatically send older   
   messages and will only send messages that were posted after the time you have   
   joined.  If you are receiving only new messages then you may need to do what is   
   called a "RESCAN" to have it send you historical messages.   
      
   I can help you figure that out if we think that is the correct next step!
