This may or may not be somewhat of a pet issue. I'm not certain if smaller corporations have the same problem but I imagine any corporation over a certain size will run into this situation and I feel it's something that could be addressed.
As it stands, as CEO of Goonfleet my evemail is unusable. This is because every single corporate going on generates an individual evemail. Every time a player joins, an evemail. Every time a player leaves, an evemail. Every time a POS runs low on fuel, an evemail. Every time something is shot, an evemail. Essentially this puts me and I'm sure at least a few others in a position where our evemail is completely unusable.
It is my assumption that this was not the intended purpose of the evemail system, but rather that the evemail system was intended for communicating. To allow for other players to get in touch with me regarding issues when I'm offline or to initiate diplomatic contact. I would propose that a separate system be used for logging corporate events, be it a log similar to the new kill log, or a separate mail account specific to the corp's needs. There have been a number of times in my case where attempts at communication have gone ignored, including communications from CCP, simply because I cannot at times even open my evemail. It would take a significant amount of time to clean this up, and even should I do so it will be self defeating because I will receive hundreds of evemails a day.
Essentially I'd like to see these messages going somewhere else so that my evemail can be used for... evemailing. I'm not sure how much support this topic will receive as I'm not sure how widespread a problem it is but in my case it's untenable. Thanks!

Sounds good to me. You can help your situation in the mean time, make an alt with few roles so you can convo/mail and have a nice tidy inbox.
I hear stories of CEOs getting flooded with tons of message like you say and a way to block out the ones you don't want seems like a fine idea to me.

Agreed - corporation logging should happen in the Corporation window, not via EveMail. Of course, this would require the Corporation window to get a total overhaul, but it needs one anyways.

Agreed, a corporate activity log or something of the sort would win. I imagine it'd be a simple conversion similar to how killmails used to come in raw-text to the inbox rather than the character sheet combat log.

Although I'm not a CEO myself I can see the benefits to this suggestion. Anything that makes Corporation Management easier is a good thing in my book.

never been a CEO, but I was in an alliance long enough to get annoyed by the constant POS mail spam.
I think CCP should rework the Corporation interface to be the central management interface with all the logging (and mail spam) happening there.
IMO a corp mechanic overhaul is long due. Currently the divisions have almost no meaning except restricting cash flow a bit. At least an internal corporation contract system is needed.

 Use a corporate commanding alt, Evemail is completely broken when it comes to being a CEO.
I must agree with this issue though.

Supported. Fuel mails could be put on a character sheet tab like killmails. Much much more can be done to allow players to customize the mails they get. This is a step in the right direction. |

Even something as simple as another mail tab for "automated mails" for directors/ceos would go a LONG way towards making evemail usable. I know I get 200+ a day. It's not something you can deal with, only ignore.

Separating this out to another window is a good idea. When you have so much evemail you can't even open it, you know something is wrong. |

If anyone remembers that eve-mail screw up as soon as Revelations was deployed, everyone's eve-mail became unusable as it became flooded with tower messages, corp messages, and so on so forth. Basically, everyone suddenly got director-level evemail access. The current status of director eve-mail being completely broken should be admitted by everyone in EVE in a big alliance, not just goonswarm.
Consequently, it needs to be fixed so directors can actually find their eve-mails and send said eve-mails. |

Excellent idea to use the same mechanism as killmails. Hopefully since CCP just worked that out this would be an easy thing to fix.

holy god please fix this it is awful and terrible- anyone who has ever been a director of any corp knows all the bull**** evemail you get.
I mean it's as if the president of the united states had one big box on his desk that said "in" on it, and every time some guy that worked at the FBI wanted a pencil it got a piece of mail notifying him about it. |
