I seem to remember configuring "AREAPMSCAN" in my config.

From the manual:

AREAPMSCAN <echoid mask>

    This keyword defines areas which will be automatically scanned for
    personal mail when starting GoldED. DOS/4DOS-style wildcards (*
    and ?) can be used in the echoid mask.

    Examples:

      AREAPMSCAN *        Scan all areas.
      AREAPMSCAN *INTER*  Scan all areas containing "INTER" anywhere
                          in the echoid.
      AREAPMSCAN INT*.*   Scan all areas beginning with "INT" and
                          containing a '.' anywhere in the echoid.

    It is recommended to have an "AREAPMSCAN *" to scan all areas at
    startup. If you don't want to wait for the scan to complete, you
    can abort the scan by pressing ESC during startup.


Hope this helps!


Louis
