MemoServ Commands

(These commands will only work if you have a Registered nickname and are Identified to it)

List

This command will list all the memos you have currently in your Inbox.

Command:
/msg MemoServ LIST
Example:

Read

This command will display a memo from your Inbox. Memos are numbered from the List (see above) and you will need that number to retrieve the memo.

If you get a new memo while you are online, MemoServ will tell you what number the new message is.

Send

This command will send a message (memo) to another registered nickname.

Command:
/msg MemoServ SEND nickname MessageText
Example:
/msg MemoServ SEND Serene This is a memo test.

CSend

This command will send a memo to all Channel Operators of a specified channel. You can also specify a level of operator if you want to limit which Operators get the message.
More information about Channel Operator levels can be found in the ChanServ help guide.

Command:
/msg MemoServ CSEND #channel message
/msg MemoServ CSEND #channel level message
Example:
/msg MemoServ CSEND #example Hi everyone
/msg MemoServ CSEND #example 10 Hi senior ops

Delete

This command will permanently delete a message from your MemoServ inbox. Memos are numbered and the numbers can be found from the LIST (see above). To delete a memo, you will need the number.
Bear in mind that when you delete a memo, the numbers assigned to the rest of the LIST will change.

Command:
/msg MemoServ DELETE number
Example:
/msg MemoServ DELETE 3

Retrieve

This command will send all current messages in your MemoServ inbox to the email address specified for your nickname.

Command:

Set Forward

This command allows you to set another nickname to which all of your memos will be forwarded to. The other nickname specified must be registered and allow incoming memos.

Command:
/msg MemoServ SET FORWARD nickname
Example:
/msg MemoServ SET FORWARD Santa

Set Max

This command allows you to set the maximum number of memos that your MemoServ inbox will hold at one time.
Once this limit has been reached, extra memos will not be accepted until space has been cleared by deleting memos.

Command:
/msg MemoServ SET MAX number
Example:
/msg MemoServ SET MAX 12

Example:
/msg MemoServ SET NOMEMO on
/msg MemoServ SET NOMEMO off

Set Secure

This command will ensure that you have to be Identified to your nickname before you can access your MemoServ inbox. It helps prevent others from pretending to be you and reading your messages. When this option is set ON, it only allows you access to your inbox when identified; when it is set OFF it unsecures your inbox again.

Command:
/msg MemoServ SET SECURE on
/msg MemoServ SET SECURE off
