They should have let you know who your hub was, so you can at least pick up
routed netmail.  Most Fidonet nodes will also pick up echomail there, though
you can pick up echomail from any Fido node you like.

No dramas.  Different zones, and if you use 5D addressing, different domains as
well.

You need to find out where your main feed (for netmail) will be.  I'm surprised
that information wasn't given to you.
