Hi Devs, get a load of this idea:
You have to overhaul the EveMail system (Its not very good is it?)
So why not make it accessible outside the game either via web app or pop3 ?

It would be nice, aye. Maybe a CCP created mailbox for all you commanders who need to go tinkle or "deal with real life".

ffs start by modifying the in-game mail so you can sort by dates and not having to click through 5000 pilots in order to find the mail sent to you yesterday.

agreed. the mail system needs a complete overhaul.
short by date is a good start. it would also be nice if the mail was readable through web-browser. |

I like the EVE-O UI for the most part, but the mail system is abysmal. |

second, there is alot they could do with evemail in game before they even think about using it out of game.

Altho API export would solve just about all such issues. Would be easy to transfer it to POP/web/whatever protocol one wants to use.
But still... in-game needs a check too.

Surely it would be "out of game evemail" rather than offline.
Anyway.. isnt that what MSN messenger and others are for? Just get your friends addresses.

Just one question... as far as "In-game mail, out of game"
How many other MMOs can you do that with? And why would EVE be any different?
Making game options accessible from outside the game leads to a couple of problems.
1) Players attempting to hack the system from the outside, for whatever purposes.
2) Players forgetting that their Game Life and their Real Life are supposed to be separate.

I believe there was something in the Assembly Hall thingy that asked for (pretty please) possible IMAP read-only functionality in the evemail.
But, x2, at the very least please sort by date :( I don't always remember who was wanting what... ____________________

could you hit something up that would do this? export via API and give a login on one of your sites do direct the mail to a e-mail client such as outlok or thunderbird ?

Very bad idea, i have no interest in logging on to eve to find my mail box loaded with viagra ads
However i support the improvement of the evemail system ccp should try to make it similar to standard mail clients, i would especially love to have a sent item folder with all my sent mails. We're Caldari. And we're in the right. |

but but chribba!!! you CAN sort it by date!!! well, kinda. if you click the "unread" column it will push any unread mail to the top. but yea, otherwise it is pretty harsh. ------------------ Screw God. In Chribba we trust! |

Yeah, but the problem rises when you want to read that mail again, tomorrow, as the read mails simply cannot be sorted in anyway. So unless you remember the pilot sending it you are forced to click through everyone in your list which plain sucks.

I don't believe anyone was talking about mapping an e-mail address to your EVE character so people could send mail to you in-game using an e-mail address. If evemail were to be taken out of the client, it would probably be an API or IMAP system for accessing your mail, and then a system involving using a new executable API key or your username/password to send evemail, so that it couldn't be abused by the openness of e-mail protocol.

"Implementing a feature like this could entail a complete rewrite of the EVEmail system to perhaps use an entirely separate server"
Hm. So buy another server, its not like you're not making any money now is it ? You could pick one of them up for about ú8000, thats well within buyability for you guys innit ?
