The first iteration of the in-game mail is now available on Singularity.
The focus in this sprint was to expose as much functionality as possible with the intention of improving the UI later. As a result most icons are temporary placeholders and the UI layout and UX flow will see some changes.
The old and new mail systems are currently running in parallel, so the neocom mail button still leads to the old system. To access the new system you need to:
1. Open Escape menu > Shortcuts
2. Click on "ui_cmd_openmail" in Description
3. Assign shortcut and click OK
Then you can use your new shortcut to open the new mail to your heart's content.
Known issues
- UI and UX not final
- Automatic broadcast of changes when receiving mail is not yet implemented. Need to close and reopen mail window to check for new mail.
- Time stamp on mail replies not formatted correctly
- If you receive a mail that was sent to you and a mailing list of which you are not a member, only the mailing list ID number is displayed not its name.
We're looking forward to your feedback!

I checked it out till the server went down and hasn't been up since.
It looks good and appears functional. I've yet to do much with labels since the only mail I had was from me to me.
The ability to forward, reply all, reply is nice, with the header included.
The status marker is nice too, but curious if this applies only to those in the buddy list or from any sender?
Settings ... Blocked list, CSPA charge. I did not find an interface for that yet.
More when I can play with it again.

(Posting from new IGB. :D)
Just tried the new email system. Very nice so far, though the icons as mentioned above need work.
More info on how mailing lists work would be nice, tho.

It looks pretty nice the only grip I have about it, and I have BR'd it is that messages sent to a mailing list before you join it do not appear and also when clicking reply to a message sent to a mailing list it sends it to only the individual and not the mailing list.
Also if it's possible to have Corp, and Alliance send a mail to the corp and alliance mailing list as well as typing in your corp and alliance name it would be greatly appreciated.

Would be helpful to have a global alias, a substitution if you will, for corp and alliance. Instead of typing the full name, "corp" or "alliance" could evaluate to corp or alliance full name of the mail composer on the backend perhaps.
I see status is not what I thought it was, nice feature.
No moderation options for new mail lists, I suppose that is coming though.
Not needed but I could see the desire of Blind Carbon Copy, BCC
When reading a new mail, the status changes from unread to read, however I have to click the mail again to get the reply, forward, reply all and trash buttons to light up.
All in all, nice mail client :)

I like it! great improvement.. but.. don't get me wrong here, I know it's like this everywhere in eve, but it struck me right away.
It really looks like the market window.
I like when you changed the fitting window to be more one of kind, so when you opened it you knew it was for something different without breaking visual style...
Maybe the mail window could have a Flare all of it's own? say... Some of that PnP stuff? Like a little map window that is set to show all friends in space? it wouldn't be readble but you could be like, oh hey! someone I know is in space! open map. ?
MOstly thought it would be some kinda of visual communcation artsy stuff.
Sorry I can't think of something better but just remember, "if it looks good, it is good"

Very nice!
I've been playing around with the mailing lists. It seems to me that their functionality is being changed pretty fundamentally.
On TQ, they serve as some kind of "bulletin board": You put up a mail, and it stays there until the mailing list owner deletes it. The same holds for alliance/corp mail, and that's how those are used.
The new mail system seems to turn them into "real" mailing lists: You send a mail to that list, and every subscriber of the list receives it. It then stays in that subscriber's inbox until the subscriber deletes it.
Is that an intended change, or is that just an artifact of the not-quite-finished UX?

but like my teacher always says, "wtf" whats that for. Simple answer, To make it stand out from the market UI. Eve doesn't have to be spreadsheets online anymore.

Thanks for the feedback so far, keep it coming!
To answer some of your questions:
-Blocked list, CSPA charges and Mailing list management are all still being worked on. We expect to have them at the end of the current sprint.
-Having "corp" and "alliance" resolve to your corp/alliance is a good idea, I'll speak to CCP Karkur about getting it done.
-The change in mailing list functionality that Arkady mentions is an intended one. It gives the person whose mailbox the mail is sitting in full control of what mails they keep and what mails they trash.

It should be more clear that the mail icon is compose message because at first I thought it was just the window icon and couldnt find the new mail button.

Thank you for the reply.
This has some quite strong effects on how mailing lists and corp/alliance mail are used right now, mainly the orientation/intro mails.
Alliance/corp mail is often used for a orientation mails of the type "hi, welcome to <corp>, here are the basic things you need to know ...". Those usually list forum addresses, possibly some shared intel channels and similar things. New people who join the corp get to see this mail right away and can follow the basic steps there.
Incidentally, one of the first rules you find in those mails is "NEVER POST TO ALLIANCE/CORP" - most pilots shouldn't post to those mailing lists. (Would be nice to be able to set them moderated while communication officers can configure them)
This is also used on some mailing lists. For example, cap ops mailing lists give some basic intros. An order tracker mailing list has a number of posts describing the current offers.
Even more "obvious" uses are difficult. The aforementioned cap ops mailing list posts a cap op in 1 week. During that week, someone finally gets his carrier and gets added to the mailing list, but he does not see the cap ship.
I have seen very few mailing lists that have not been used as "bulletin boards" like this, actually. So this change removes some widely used functionality.
Are there plans to provide a replacement for this?
Edited to add: I do not think a "mailing list" is an appropriate term for these uses, and not providing this via a "mailing list" is probably a good choice, but the functionality is important and needs to be addressed somehow.

About the mailing lists, what they are in the new client is more of a "mailing list" and would also be useful. But I think a lot of people would like a "bulletins" feature which might or might not be in mail but would function similarly to the old mailing lists. |

I've searched my corp and alliance by typing it in, and sent mails, closed the new mail UI, reopened, no mail :(. Am i missing a step or just a bug?
I wanted to test the ability to delete corp and alliance mails on the user end, or if that function only applies to subscribed mailing lists.
A lot of the new features are very nice. I do not like the fact that if you are on alliance / corp label and hit compose, it doesn't default to that. This is a functionality of the old system that should be maintained.
If this is outside the scope of 'one click to compose any message, regardless of recepitant' then perhaps a 'radio button' style like you see when making a contract. There is a 'To' line where you could type in a recipient / multiple recipients, or you could click 'To corp' or 'To Alliance' radio button, then compose your message. Perhaps some dynamic interface that adds radio selection buttons to mailing lists you subscribe to.
That's just my crazy ideas.
--
I do enjoy how it's much more like traditional e-mail in the sense that as you type in a recipient it brings up contacts / mailing lists you have.
All mails and sent mails = epic
- When you click a mail that is 'unread', and it changes over to 'read' it automatically de-selects itself. You have to re-click it to bring back the action buttons for reply/forward/delete ect.
- Mailing Lists:
Mail from a mailing lists arrives to your inbox, but does not indicate via. a label or other means what mailing list it's from. This is misleading because it lists only the character name who sent the mail in the body, vs. say 'Altair Mogwa from mailing list *****'. If you solely manage your mails from your inbox, and didn't look at the mailing lists tab as well, you would not know a group of people received the same mail.
Also when you click 'reply to all' on said mail, from a mailing list, it doesn't reply to the mailing list so everyone can receive it, it just sends to the individual. I tested this with 4 people on a list. Sent a mail, did a reply to all from a receiving party, only the original person who sent the mail to the mailing list received the reply to all. I performed this action both from the mailing list tab, as well as inbox tab.

1. My pre-existing eve-mails from the old eve-mail system aren't in the new system.
2. I composed a message from myself to my corp. The drop-down entry helped me select my corp as the recipient. I added a label, "Important Information" to the outgoing message. The message then showed up in the following places: All Mails, Sent Items, and the label "Important Information". Even though it was sent to the corporation it did not appear under Corp as expected.

Hm, are you guys going to be looking into the shortcut system anytime soon? I'd enjoy support for Directinput and the numpad numbers. Not to mention putting more functions like: deploy drones, approach, orbit, keep at range, warp, jump, dock, unlock target, look at, and showinfo in there.

That's silly, the pretext was if it wasn't going to kill the server. Linking bookmarks (like the new saved fittings) into chat windows would also be wonderful. Same with being able to send evemails with fittings linked.
On the topic of removing the old functionality of mailing lists where mail persists, and joining a corp/list lets you see all the old mails should DEFINITELY be maintained, or something to replace that function be introduced. It serves a VERY valuable function, like MOTD's in channels. |

see my post.
actully maybe I'll really push it, There is so much more than could be done. Like the hidhing the right side where you read the me-mails untill you click on it. Which animates a screenless screen, (like in sci0fi) to open up and have your mail on it.

My two cents; though it is WIP, the compose buttons and all aren't overtly obvious (e.g., they don't look like buttons that I should be clicking to do stuff).

- Its been said, but i'm just /Signing it. Compose need to be MUCH more obvious. I only found it because i used to Play Mist & Riven
- The old Bullitin board style needs to die as an Evemail format, Its new storage concept of a proper user mailbox is excellent, for email equivilant. But given users clever alternative use of the bad design there will need to be a replacement. Ie forums to come with COSMOS/NewEden. This needs to be available to cover the gap ASAP. Chaos will ensure as certain info, like Teamspeak details, safe travel routes, war target lists or any static info will disappear in some mailboxes and needs forum/bulliten board like posting.
- The new meta tag style of folders is fantastic. Trash and delete are easier to handle. The underlying design was always the hang up this I know, so well done.
- Evemail Aliance/Corp buttons are sourly missed and an alias of "corp" etc would be the least that is needed. A button would be appreciated when viewing Alliance/corp but that may not make sense in the new format. Perhaps statics buttons next to compose for Alliance and corp?
^^ All of this is Constructive critique. In truth i'm VERY pleased to see this form of revamp and take my hat off to you CCP devs/designers.

Ok, now at home not work and can elaborate a bit (oh god more bullitpoints  )
- Still has silly size limit. I know Evemail takes space, but with improved evemail management you wont get so much crap stored. For goodness sake it's rich text content only. Increase the limit at least, please (multi mails suck)
- 07 For VERY fast toon search, excellent use of indexing I presume
- As with every part of Eve, Keyboard UI sucks, can we have more than up down? perhaps Enter opens the group, may be a bigger problem I know
- Shame labels are associated/keyd on my toon, not associated with the mail itself. Would have been handy to see incoming mail's labels set by the sender. Too late for such a technical low level change I Guess.
- Can we have "To" as a column or an optional column for reading. Without it in the inbox I cant tell what are mailing list mails and what are direct mails, or even group mails. Same goes for Sent mail, in fact especially for sent mail
- Ok, I've not personally figured out how to send Aliance/Corpmails and made a wrong assumption from others posts. Do we just tag it with an label Aliance?! Cos if so VERY cool. I cant type the Aliance or Corp name as i suspected I would be able to. I kind of doubt this is intentional (tag system), if it is I'm amazed and pleased at the versatility of being able to upgrade any mail to an alliance mail. Very Google Wave like. I REALLY hope it isn't just a bug/"feature"
All for now. Going to report fun bug with Fleet finer UI

You are supposed to be able to type your corp/alliance name in the TO field (and should get them as an option in the drop down menu when you start typing the name in the field). Is that not working on your client?

I get that but when I send a mail to IDLE GUNS, or IDLE EMPIRE I don't see it show up anywhere Mails sent to IDLE GUNS, or IDLE EMPIRE show up in the all tab, but not in the corp/alliance tabs
okay I just made myself more confused, they all have the label sent items. so it doesn't seem to ever be received. and yes I did try closing* and reopening the mail UI.
*closing the mail window doesn't work, have to minimize and right click close on the minimized tab.

It certainly didnt offer the corp name in the search from a partial (but unique) Corp name, only players. What, I have to admit, I didn't try was trying the exact alliance/Corp name correctly and sending regardless of the search system.
I will conduct better testing and get back to you soon TM

Ok, confirmed with previous poster that If the exact corp name is typed in TO field then nothing appears to happen. That said, i dont have an alt in my corp or alliance to test and see if they received it.
It does accept full and exact corp name (only if Caps are correct too) without prompting a search. But seem to fire off into nowhere (perhaps we are to used to seeing the old style mail). If it is designed not to send a copy to yourself, can we have an option for that to happen. Fire and forget is fine for normal evemail but for corp and alliance is a bit too different and disconcerting, I can see many duplicates popping up. Possibly the same would be nice for all mailing lists.
But the TO field definitely does not like partial corp names. Which when you have some alliance or corp leaders with bizarr or just plain wrong naming Schemes then you end up having fun. Our previous Alliance was a 733t name, but written phonetically. Only the acronym made true sense. Writing that into evemail addresses would drive me up the wall.
Thanks

I like the functionality of the new mail system - the way you can forward and reply to all evemails etc. and especially being able to view your sent mail (this has been missing for such a long time and will end those rare but annoying occasions where you had to ask someone to mail you back what you sent them), but i'm not a fan of the new layout.
One of the things i always thought CCP made better than other non-gaming companies was their mailing system. I love the fact that you list all the mails by the character name/avatar so they are sectioned off. I can't see why this needs to change and of what the benefit it will be.
I strongly oppose this particular change in the new mail system, so if there's anything you can do to implement that option again, i think it would be a big improvement. I'm also not a fan of the way mailing lists are listed in a drop-down box. Again, the tab system was unique to EVE, but i can see why you've done it.
But please reconsider the grouping of mails by character.

I only have one major complaint - 1000 character limit is not nearly enough. As a recruiter I constantly get more than 3 mails when people answer the recruitment questions, the current record is 9 mails. Please raise the limit to at least 10 000.
Oh, and please add a 'new mail' button, the little icon on the left isn't as obvious as you think

agreed, one of the tabs up top should be a by character mail, and should look like the old mailling system but with all the new features.
Being able to see mail by character is VERY useful in eve.

If I understand the system correctly, you can give characters a label and then any mail send by that character will be automatically put in that labels folder (and of course the regular inbox as well).

On the subject of sending mail to corp, it would be nice if you could type in the corp ticker and be able to find the corp that way. "Corp" and "alliance" would be even better. Regarding the behaviour of the reply button for corp mails, I think it's fine that reply sends only to the poster by default. Maybe the reply all button could be used to reply to the corp list? The reply all button doesn't currently seem to do anything for mailing list messages.
I'm having another issue. I'm in some mailing lists which have a space in their name. I now have labels listed for those mailing lists but with the spaces removed. If I try to open a mail which has been sent to one of those lists, it won't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Can't find the specified mailing list". |

Just wanted to say: looks great, feels great and works like a charm (so far). Only bad thing is, you actually need to "know what to push" to see it. Maybe put it up as regular, for those not reading much in forums?
edit: constructive criticism - maybe work on optimization a bit? seems a bit slow. Not that it matters that much.

Is there a planned export feature for mail? I'm sure this if anything could reduce database issues, although the new mail system may be written more efficiently in that respect (since it's not listed here, I've no idea).

I havent bug reported these yet, few too many small things.
If you want me to report them officially just scream i'll go through them. These arent all bugs though, some are comments on features.
* Sending a corp mail to the Corp Name (eg "Red Sun Industries" for me) now arrives in my own box too. But only my "all mail" catagory. Unless I Tag the outgoing mail with Corp. The it appears in the corp group as I Expect. Seems a minor thing you will have noticed yourselfs.
* Got lag sending a message to an alt, must have clicked twice. The UI does not close after the first click. It let me send the same mail twice (or as many times as i can click before it "sends" and closes the evemail mini window) as i got two copies received by the Alt.
* UI Controls are much clearer than before. The Blue stands out and makes you want to hover. I actually found the Compose icons and greyed out others ("reply" etc) quickly, unlike before. So good job there.
* REALLY like the separate notifications Tab, for POS warning mails, bills, killmails, ect. Way less clutter. Old notifications were bundles under Misc, presume you will retrospectively tag Tranquillities notifications for go live.
* The flashing Evemail Tab needs work as it always has. It doesn't stop flashing when you click the Last "unread mail" you have to click away from the tab or do other silly things to prod it to recognise you read all the mails.
There sometimes is lag when you click on an unread message, not just to display it (take that as Sisi being slow) but for the "unread" green tag to disappear. It seems to eventually catch up.
Overall looking great CCP. Keep it up. Screenshots, bug reports and LogSever output can be provided if needed.

You really need to read the threads before making coments.
Quote:
The old and new mail systems are currently running in parallel, so the neocom mail button still leads to the old system. To access the new system you need to hold shift and click the neocom mail button. Alternatively you can assign a short cut to the description 'open mail' in the esc menu.

Ive not yet used this system but...
...Do we have the ability to restrict evemails being sent in corporation and alliance mails, to either certain people (some kind of list that can be added to) or people with a certain role (director role etc?).
Im sure we've all been in alliances/corps where the mails are spammed by random people talking **** :D

Ok, Just confirmed what I am finding with Blink not stopping after read is not related to the old mail system 86198 . As per that bug report.
Found if you click the notifications tab and click back it stops.
Havent confirmed "blink" with gate jumps.

That is available for mailing lists. Its not on for corps, but I agree it would be useful to have that option. Stop all but nominated players post (eg directors and a diplo, etc) or choose to allow all posts.

I just saw the corp/alliance bulletins - awesome, thank you, that solves the problem I mentioned earlier!
I could not test whether those trigger some kind of flashy highlight, but if new bulletins either make the corp window button flash (like the mail button) or if they trigger one of those shiny notifications in the mailbox, awesome.
One request there: Would it be possible to allow corp members (executor corp members) with the "Communications Officer" role to post/edit/delete bulletins?
And back to the mailing lists: Would it be possible to add a third access method, "semi-public", in which anyone can post to a mailing list, but only a selected group can read? This would be useful for alliance diplomacy contacts and similar situations where it's important that someone gets the message.

Would it be possible to add an *Archive* folder or the ability to create folders (not mailing lists)?
Or is that what labels are for? How do labels work?
Will a search function be possible? (similar to the cargo bay search?)
This is honestly one of the features i'm looking most forward to.

small resposne to labels and their functionality driving me insane already :/
woul;d it be possible to REMOVE the inbox label ? svery mail i recieve automatically has the inbox tag and it has little to no value.
what it IS doing it creating multiple copies of the same mail. i sent an alliance mail and CC'ed it to corp (nice btw) but it also goes into my inbox :/ removing the inbox tag from alliance/corp mails will stop the mail hitting the inbox and repeating in alliance, etc. alliance mail an corp mail should ONLY go into their respective folders and incomming personal mail go into the inbox

Mails need to be labelled by sender/people automatically.
Mails need to be dynamically labelled by date (day/week/month etc).
Custom labels for the corp which are shared by all corp members.
Import/export of labels and labelled mails.
Pretty good start though, nice and clean :-)

No it shouldn't it's what EVE should have used from the very start. There are massive numbers of completely free and open source email things around, it's one of the oldest and most heavily developed standards on the net. Any evemail that doesn't just use normal email as the back-end is still the same basic garbage at core, even if they make it overall slightly less utterly horrible.

If you open a big mailbox the 1st time it takes a while and caches it on your disk. After that the fetching process should happen way quicker for you.

Hello,
could the difference between opened and unopened mail be a little more visually clear please, maybe the symbol could be green for opened and red for unopened or something. It's not a problem at the moment if I'm carefully going through all my mail, but if I'm just scanning through quickly for unopened mail or notifications, they're quite hard to spot.
Otherwise the new system is great,
Thanks,

Can you make an option so that you can still mark read mails by the same pilot? Instead of having to open every single one individually? That makes it difficult when you have a TON of alliance mails by the same person. :D

I really like the new notifications area there. Which moves sov msgs and insurance msgs all to different areas. Out of the inbox. Definitely nice.
Labels... I dont understand their purpose at all. You cant just set the label to say corp. Then have the message sent to the corp. Or set label to corp and alliance and have duplicates sent to both. Instead you still have to send to the corp. Labels dont seem to mean anything. I'd like to see labels be more of a masquerade. So as director/ceo I can send evemail to whoever but I can label it as corp. So the person receiving the evemail sees the evemail as if it was mailed from the corp itself. Unaware of who really sent it.
The thing I really dont like. Is the mixing of the inbox-corp-alliance all into the inbox basically. There's no clear seperation like now on tq.
Another feature I would like. Signatures that get added to the end of each evemail automatically. Like the forums.

That's what the labels are for... you assign labels to mails and when you click a label on the left side all the mails that have that label will be displayed. A mail can have more than one label, so the mails you see when you click the corp label are not really duplicates of some of the mails in your inbox, they are the same mails.
You can assign labels by dragging them to another label (SHIFT dragging just adds the other label), by using right click option or the "manage labels" window.

yes i did thanks.
it was sorta my fault. . . .
when you are viewing a mailbox the list doesnt go right to the bottom of the screen and it appears that you only have a small ammount of mail in your inbox. its very much like the combat log where you have a blankspace at the bottom of the log and its exceptionally easy to notice the >>> button as it blends in to the background waaay to much.

All in all pretty good so far, except lacking a fundamental function: search.
While you guys revamp the mail system, you ease the organization quite a bit, but seriously organize without search function is quite confusing and not effective compare to the older linear structure. Hope CCP get it done and get it right.

You've really done it again and hid the mail settings behind some small, meaningless "arrow". 
Most other windows just use another tab for the settings and since the mail window also sports tabs, it should do the same (consistency and all...). Of course you'll have to redo the settings layout, but you know that if you don't do it right now it won't ever happen.
Also another minor issue: "Add mailing list". Why is this a text button and not part of the top "toolbar" thingy? "Hide reading pane" should in consequence also be part of the toolbar in the form of a toggle-button.
More issues not specifically about the mail UI but the UI in general: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1209594

Would it be possible for us to set up auto-labelling so that if we get mail from certain contacts, it automatically is given a label as it comes in?
for instance, I'd like to be able to automatically have incoming mail from some of my contacts go into a "friends" label for easy access.
It could be as simple as having "sender: auto label" and "Sender: remove label" categories in the right-click menu.

If you type this in the "to" field, it should pop up a window and tell you that you have a mailing list with that name, and ask you if you want to send to it. If you say you do, then the mailing list is used, but if you don't want that it will search for a character with that name and add it as a recipient if it is found.
The pop up only shows if you type in the name... if you use the typeahead thing to pick the list/name you shouldn't get the pop up, and also not if you select the name from the "to" search, reply to or forward a mail, or send a mail using the right click options.

- some important features as it looks now postponed
- tons of rightclick options added to make things slower than need be
nice ideas, not impressed
if this where a program id say finish the product then release it
but thats the theme we've been going with the last couple of expansion isnt it
releasing half baked things only to fix them later maybe perhaps if there are at least 20 threadnaughts and somebody drunk enough to do it

I'm really hoping for some decent documentation on this new beast. I've been able to figure out some things by mucking around on Singularity, but some other things (like labels) just aren't very intuitive and will be puzzling to those who haven't had time to check them out pre-expansion. |

Just checked new eve mail system, looks nice but..
I liked that mails was sorted by sender, now they are just huge pile of mails. When you make database conversion, could you move mails from inbox to LABELED mail. In mail is inbox label ready, but could you add sender name in labels field too and make them ready to labels section. Now it will take a while to get them back in right order. 
Also under corp and alliance section could make those labels or folders for every different char.

I have to agree with that. Just look at the fitting screen's missing left pane. The worst part is, that it's probably not going to be finished ever given that they appear to be developing one feature per sprint team. Hopefully they'll consider a "finish-up" team for future patches, doing nothing but finishing the features previous teams didn't manage to complete in time. :)

The mails are cached on your local disc but they are always stored on the server as well. Once you open your mail the client gets all the mail headers that are not on your machine already and stores them on your machine. So if you lose your local data or if you switch computers, your mail will be retrieved from the server again.

If somebody can get to the files it might not be much more effort to simply vnc into eve in read the mail there. But it might not be a good idea anymore, to check your mail at somebody else's PC.
Originally by: venus divine

They could use some 2nd generation hash of your login credentials, or better yet some server generated hash that isn't stored locally. The latter could easily be made safer than your standard username/password combo, which means anyone attempting to read your mail would rather break your password than the encrypted mail file.
fyi, right now those files are stored as serialized plaintext data. Just open them in notepad :)

I think this has been mentioned before, but I'd like a way to filter out personal mail from corp and alliance mail without having to retag everything myself. Honestly it could be as simple as removing the "inbox" tag from corp and alliance mail, then having a category "all" that lets you see mail with any tag "inbox/corp/alliance"
What I'm getting at here, is that I have a nice tag button to look at corp mail, and a nice tag button to look at alliance mail, but if I try to look at personal mail (inbox) then I get ALL of my mail.

New EVEMail System Annoyance
It's either a bug or an unintentional annoyance.
At the moment when you get a corp/alliance mail it comes along with the "Inbox" label and bothers you as a personal mail.
For the general players this probably isn't a problem, but for CEOs and alliance administrators it's highly frustrating shuffling through all the paper work and prioritizing mails every 5 seconds.
I just want to make a suggestion that corp and alliance mails STOP using the "Inbox" label. If at all possible. If you wish to see all mails together you still can use the appropriate tab.
If you (CCP) could make the "Inbox" be the personal "Inbox" I think it was intended to be, it would be great. :)

I've heard about a few people with this problem, and we have been trying to figure out why this happens. We have been trying to repro this but not been able to. It would really help if you could send detailed bug reports.
It would also help if you could answer these questions for me:
- does this happen for all your characters?
- does it only take forever the first time you compose/reply to a mail after logging in?
- if you log in, open people & places (on buddies tab), wait a bit, then open the mail and try to compose a mail does it take the message window forever to appear?

The issue with not being able to see which mail has been sent to you remains as great a problem as ever. The biggest problem was not originally with Corp and Alliance mail anyway since they are at least labelled by default and can be ignored in your Inbox, the biggest problem is with mail that arrives from mailing lists none of which has any label.
As someone in a position of responsibility in the corp I recieve mail from a dozen mailing lists related to the running of various aspects of the corp and the alliance. Even though each mailing list has its own folder where its mail is nicely collated, duplicates of everything also go into my Inbox, none of it has any additional label and as far as I can tell it leaves me with no way at all to see what mail has been sent personally to me.
Where is the documentation for this btw, or as usual was the devblog it?

As of Dominion 1.0.2 only mail sent to you personally will go to the inbox. Corp, alliance and mailing list mail will by default only be visible in their respective locations and not in the inbox.
Regarding documentation you can find a knowledgebase article that explains the mail system via the ? icon in the upper right-hand corner of the mail window.

I really miss the old behavior of the mailing lists. I imagine this is a personal opinion, and the lists are likely to remain as-is for the most part.
However, I do have a request that nobody would object to. Would it be possible to let us turn off the notification/blink for individual mailing lists like we could before?

As things stand Bulletin Boards are fairly badly done certainly no one in my corp or alliance wants to open up the corp window to see information the likes of which used to get posted in corp and alliance mails. While it may be a case that it seems like a stubborn unwillingness to change I do feel it would be better to have the bulletin boards back in the same window as EVE mails. In reality a completely separate window from either corp/alliance or evemail would be best however that would end up creating extra clutter in terms of the menu bar.
There also needs to be added options to have a bit more flexibility like display priority as some bulletins you do want to have stored at the top of the board always so new players can easily find them (Corp/Alliance rules or forum + TS/Vent details) and probably a whole host of other functions that I would notice were missing if I was actually in game right now.
Finally an open corp wall that anyone in the corp could post on for the likes of leaving messages and the following wishes of good luck along with similar things would be nice which is something that does not work so well in the new mail system.
You may wonder why half of this is posted in this thread well since its been born from the old mail system and there seems no where else to put it it seemed the right place to turn

i for one hate the new system, wat was wrong with the old one anyway?
why is it ccp change everything that isnt wrong with the game, yet fail to fix any of the things that people continously complain about that is wrong with the game.
inbox, certificate system (WTF is this anyway) and planet prettiness should not take priority over lolrockets, lag and bringing back the old cyno effect!

Is there a word on the mail limit things, seeing as you can only have like 1300 mails in total. If I sort by dates my oldest is somewhere in june, but the more mail I get the more the oldest received moves ahead.
Unsure if the local-storage stuff is set up yet, but I really would like to be able to go back more than a few months.
Any news on that?

I think the best bet there would be to wait for full body text of evemails to be made available via the API.
