First of all, thank you very much for your help so far. I have fixed most of the errors... see below.

I don't know what is wrong in the zipping. This is how I do it in the bash file.
rm -f "$FILE"
zip -X0 "$FILE" mimetype
zip -X9Dr "$FILE" META-INF OEBPS
I have re-uploaded the latest version. Is it now correct?

Fixed.

I can not fix that. I want all the email to start at a new page (so it is a separate xhtml file) but I do not want them to show in the spine, neither in the TOC. If I remove the gaps, then the flow is incorrect, it goes from chapter to chapter, jumping over all the emails within them. What is the solution?

I can now see the errors in epubcheck.

The only error is the gaps in toc.ncx (see above).

I think that I am almost there... Would you mind checking the file again and tell me what to do regarding the gaps. Thank you! Paul
