I am using OMNIMIX 2.6.6 + Thunderbird in order to send and receive nym
messages via alt.anonymous.messages without replyblock.
About a week ago I created a new nym succesfully (the nym server sent
me the list and my nym is in the list).
But I never received the confirm mail by the nym server as usual.
So I did not completed the configuration by replying to the nym server.
When I search mail, every day, I obtain these Log in Omnimix
(In particular I do not understand what means
"P Nym NNTP message count for alt.anonymous.messages: 1132 (low: 1 /
high: 1132)") why 1132?:

You're right. There's a discrepancy between Hamster's highest / latest
message number 1133 and your nyms' message pointers, which already are
at 1433, way ahead of Hamster's numbering.

Have you imported your nyms into a different OM installation, where
Hamster started collecting postings at a later date? Or have you reset
your Hamster repository?

No matter what's the reason, open the Nym Configurator and reset all
your nyms' message pointers to 1 by clicking the "R" and then the
"Modify" button. Now within TB try to download your messages once again
until your nyms' message pointers reach Hamster's head of messages. Be
prepared for retrieving lots of copies of messages you already have
before getting to the new ones.

Without entering a valid normal POP3 host you might switch Polling to
Disabled at the Mail_P tab, as otherwise even failing external DNS
requests may unveil your local POP3 activities.
