Email not working

Yay. Finally being able to send information to someone who´s not jacked-in.
..but...
Are there no ways to send a massmail to crew or faction with one hack?...I have to type every name every time?
Sounds like i have a lot of work if i want to set any kind of Event on a date and want to inform everybody.
Another way would be to send emails only to captains and they have to forward them to their crewmembers.
But that means there can be a large delay for a lot of faction members.

recieving it. Same when they've sent to me...anyone know whats going

Note, sending messages to yourself works fine, just other people's dont....
Also, the email you send yourself, once you close email screen, dissapears...
Please use the edit button in future :smileyindifferent:
yep same, this error just cost me a pair of enahcned emeralds and 1.5 mil nice one SOE.!
Lesson #302 on Patch days:
Always come to the forums first to see what other people are having problems with before trying these things yourself.
You think the first time they tested transporter technology in the Star
Trek universe that they used an actual crew? Hell no, they
probably used a monkey, or Kirk's wife or something.

Glad to see you're about this AM. I'm stuck at work and can't test this thing out until this PM.

And that's why you test it out by sending something cheap like a non-buffed pair of glasses =) I guess the server that deals with actually sending the messages is either broken or straining under the number of people trying to email at the same time.

You would think they actually test a new patch. :smileysad:
when they get this TEST SERVER up and running for public use they may test the better in future

We had seen a similar issue in testing, but it was resolved. I'm unsure why it appeared again, but the team is looking into it.
The issue we saw before was a matter of the email headers not displaying--the email was actually there, but a player couldn't see it. If this is the case, then the emails you sent are still on the server, just not visible.
We're looking into the problem and will resolve it as quickly as possible.

Perhaps a slight difference in the internal server setup/hardware and the external ones causing it? Just a wild guess =)

How dare you question the Walrus' (and the rest of the team's) abilities
add another hash mark to the owned by Walrus list lol

Small update, i just got my 17 mails! Is it ok to use it further now?
Code stacking still aint working.
Stupid quote system. Prolly my firefox.

I'd wait for an official word. Even after the official word, I'd wait a few days before sending anything of great value. And I'd wait even longer (read: let others test it out ) before sending items that can't be replaced.
Code stacking still aint working.
Can anyone else confirm this?

Yep, I noticed it doesn't work anymore in 1.5 RC3. As a temporary workaround I use the IE Tab Extension when I need to quote something.

in the update patch notes it didnt say they fixed code stacking?
no....(tell me if im blind and missed it :p)
this means that not enough of us ccr'd them and told them it was broke.
Email is now safe to use: There was an internal issue that prevented headers from showing correctly. All emails sent this morning should now appear in the recipients' inboxes.
See... patience, my young redpills.

You are blind m8 :smileywink:

thats what you get for quickly rushing through it
/slapsselfhard 
maybe that be in a quick fix?

Note: There is a known issue with trying to email items from your Code Archive. At this time, you can select items from your Code Archive to send, but the item won't be removed from the Code Archive, it won't be delivered to the recipient, and you won't be charged the cost displayed in the Email window. This will be fixed in an upcoming patch

We're aware of the issues players are seeing with email at the moment and are working to resolve them. Please do not use the in-game email system until further notice.
solves your problem?
I realize that the e-mail is broken right now, just thought I'd add another point that conflicts with Walrus' direction of use
I tried to send an email to an alternate char on another server, and to get it to at least say mail sent successfully I still had to type in Recursion.vitasenza. Granted, it still didn't show up in my in box, just another little glitch in the system

Addressing Email
To address your email to a single player, just type that player's name in the To: line. Names are unique across all worlds, so you don't need to worry about adding the world name.
You must realize the truth: There is no post. Then you will see it is not the post that has moved, only yourself.
Bah.. I knew Broadcast was trouble from the second he pretended to be Neo...
Oh and this is to get his yellow awakened name away!!! It hurts my eyes as well as my head.
To many colors! It's gonna look like a circus!
sometimes it lets me send items when i right click on inventory, and sometimes it dont!!! Plz Fix!!!
ahh you have to be by a hardline............ Well Thanks for the system SOE, but i can't wait for the day to send multiple emails and items. Yeh id like to send Uniform to my mates as well 
Multiple... attachments... needed.
Oh and an outbox, icon notification, infinate storage (rarebit said something about this happenign so yeh) and oh yes, a remade UI! What the fleg is up with those blurry *CENSORED* buttons?!
Can we check this e-mail outside of the game? That would be totally kick *CENSORED*.

No. You must jack into your account and select your RSI to check your email.
TekMon, The New Order
Ah, nice to see this thread up again, why havnt any of the kick *CENSORED* ideas here even been addressed by devs yet?
OUTBOX!
MULTIPLE ATTACHMENTS!
NOW!
Patience, grasshopper.
Is it possible to paste text into an email body?
coolicet, he means sending to his faction or crew or whatever. Not typing every name then ; and so on..
yeah i know thats why i posted walrus link. but im glad they made a thread for all.

things should get better,
i just wish they made the email system for all worlds, wich includes sending info and items 
i want my emerald glasses...

Can we email the LET characters?
It would be awesome if so!!! :smileywink:
a better solution to the emerald pravea sunglasses shortage would be to just have them lootable in vector, lol.
to be honest i was anticipating being able to email across servers just
so i could have my L50 recursion character farm red frag and code abils
and clothing for all my other characters, especially the vector ones
without fear of teh gank. but of course that's not very fair to players
on vector who spent all this time building up coder characters or
marketplace factions specifically to deal with hostile farming. so i
suppose it works out for the best :robotvery-happy:

Hello all,
Do we know how long mail is stored? Is there a limit to the number of messages and items that can be kept in the mail system? Does it get automatically deleted after awhile? I would like to use it for storage to free up my code archive and inventory.
Thanks,
Kharis

I don't recall seeing an official word on using e-mail as storage space, but I'm sure they'd like to limit it (less stuff the servers have to keep track of), so I'm guessing that e-mails will eventually be deleted after they've been in the inbox for a while, but I could be totally wrong on that. Unfortunately, we can't send anything that's not tradeable to ourselves via the e-mail system, so most of the stuff I'd like to get out of my inventory has to stay in until we get item storage (that's gotta be coming soon, right devs? we can't keep getting item rewards unless you give us somewhere to store them).
I lost my full purity Sakura Bandana and Widow's Moor Lenses that I sent earlier on, can I get some replacements please?
First of all, I'd like to thank the devs for all the hard work that
went in to this patch....it has certainly paid off. Now, on to my
problems.
Coming from SWG, Im used to a robust and very functional email
system. When I jacked in today I was a bit disappointed to learn
that we can only email one player at a time. As a rank 1 captain,
it would be immensely helpful if I could email the entire faction or
crews at one time. Also, being limited to one item per email is a
bit restrictive. I would like to send the faction uniform out to
my faction mates, but with this system, I have to send about 6
different emails for each uniform.

Well the email system is linked to all players, so they are still "players" , give it a shot
