This one by itself should read both email and Fidonet netmail, since it is all stored in the mail base.

* However, don't try to write anything there, as you risk corrupting your mail base.

I'm guessing this one does nothing for you. Synchronet's "netmail" is stored in the same base as email (/sbbs/data/mail.*). This is why you shouldn't write to it, because Golded doesn't know the difference between what is BBS email, POP/SMTP email, or netmail.
