Attempting to open said list of "Quest Reward" emails (yes, sometimes they pile up), at times the email isn't opened (nothing in the email window), or does not refresh to the next email opened. This may go on for several tries at new emails, work once, then get stuck on that one for a while.
I'm guessing someone didn't bother testing the metadata processing.
the new mail system is pointless in my opinion, no one had a problem with the old one...
I like the idea of an outbox, that was needed; perhaps the block-sender as well. But it's so poorly designed that the bugs I mentioned are the least of the problems, and it doesn't address the biggest headaches of the old one. A mass-accept from checked items is the most mind-shatteringly obvious usage of it, so naturally they didn't include it; it regressed functionality by hiding the single most-used item in an email system: the Reply button; it is non-intuitive; has pointless icons that lead to confusion; and, let's not forget, it's buggier than a bait store. Yes, you can send to multiple people at once (THANK YOU!) but there's no CC list, you have to write it yourself.
The new mail system does not allow to send 'Subject only' emails. Sending a complete message such as "Tag done [EOM]" was allowed in the old system.
Battle reports are deleted automatically after Replay? it is bug or feature? I like to keep them for a while to summarize adventure after I finish it.
I am having issues just deleting emails. Most times I need to log out and come back in to refresh the mailbox, but even that is inconsistent.
This mailbox was not ready for release yet. However, that's just how this game works and I have come to expect that anything new is most times broken on release. I like the ability to delete multiple emails, all those buff mails everyday, I will keep my fingers crossed that the issues will all get ironed out before the next new broken toy is released.
Odd, EC, I havent had any problems with the new mail, works just fine for me.
I'm having trouble collecting loot from adventures, collecting treasure from scouts, viewing battle reports.
Click on the mail and nothing appears in the window, or if it shows the loot or treasure it won't actually collect it.
Going out and back into the mail might allow another chance, but I usually have to wait awhile before going back for it to work.
VERY annoying.
then you are lucky and things are inconsistent. Looking over this thread I see people reporting issues I have not experienced but I am not going to be dismissive of what their experience is just because I have not had it.Quote:

I deleted them again, and poof ... gone.
since then things have been working as expected and its been smooth sailing.
pesky little things, but they are now gone.
so life in Crowville is once more happy and joyous.
and this is a good thing.
The undeleteable mails are bloody annoying.
Crow: I wasn't dismissing your issue, just commenting that I wasn't able to reproduce it. I was deleting emails without issue, so some ppl are affected while others aren't, or there's some condition(s) that needs to exist for it to happen.
I can not delete mails, I tried deleting mails 1 at a time and mass deleting and still they stay in the mail box. Very annoying not being able to delete useless, unneeded crap from the mail box now!
I'm not having any troubles with it. all good here.
basically this new system was a fix of something not broken, now, like anytime non-broken things are "fixed", it sucks
We are aware of the multiple issues with the new mail system and the developers are investigating this further. Feedback and information is being collected and is welcome through the forums and Support ticketing system.
I take it all back, every nice thing I said about the new mail system. Bring back the old one, it worked. This current thing isn't even ready for beta-testing.
hopefully tonite's maintenance will fix some of it
I would rather not have entries for every guild member I sent an email to. Total waste of space. Isn't there a way to show the single mail with the list of recipients? As soon as I send 2 guild mails, my history is useless.
I would also love to forward an email. If you are going to the trouble of creating and improving an interface, why not make it fully featured?
I would have to agree with the majority on this one, there was nothing wrong with the old mailing system...the saying goes, "if it ain't broke--don't fix it" definitely applies here!!! In addition, they've added the "OUTBOX" mail and those can't be deleted either...now that's a bit annoying, I like the idea of being able to go back and check something I've said, but if I have to go thru over 100's of msgs to do so, then it's not worth it, hopefully they can fix this feature quickly!
But it only saves the 50 most recent outgoing mails!Quote:

Not sure when the last patch was put in, but today is Weds. On Monday I sent a trade to another player and by mistake he deleted it before opening it. The goods that were sent ended up in limbo - neither of us has them in our mails, our star menu, or our inventories. I sent in a ticket, but I was wondering if anyone else has issues with deleting mails (explorer finds, trades, things like that)
