PLEASE... maybe just give us a limit of saving our last 10 emails. Add some sort of organization to the email system. I'm not asking for a new version of Outlook... just something simple.
--------------------------------- Pithecanthropus erectus, a name derived from Greek and Latin roots meaning upright ape-man. |

This suggestion is a part of our second package of issues, which I hope will get posted sometime in the near future.
Look forward to that!

right now the work around is save em in your notes.
but if this is implemented at least let it only be an option you can enable/disable as some ppl might not want this feature.
Either way i'll support it as is ------ People Say Im paranoid because I have a gun, I say I dont have to be paranoid because I have a gun.

Speaking of email difficulties, the sorting options are simply insane. Let's tsay I want to look at my new emails. I sort by 'unread'. I then click on the first person who's sent me mail I haven't read. I click on the unread mail. So far so good.
Let's say the mail was a inquiry into joining my corp, and I want to respond. Well, at this point, the person who sent the mail no longer counts as 'unread' which means that although I'm still reading the mail, the person's entry in my mail list has been resorted to some arbitrary position in the list, and has been unselected. This means that if I want to find out who sent it, that information is not encoded into the mail itself, so I need to note the subject line, and look through each person in my inbox until I find the person who has an email with the matching subject line.
Or, let's say my corp is having a discussing using corp mail. No matter how I sort the mails, there's no way to read posts in the order that they were read, meaning that context is lost unless everyone quotes the mail they responded to.
Who thought this stuff up? This needs to be changed so that, at a minimum:
1) I can display a chronological list of mails recieved. This would likely require the index to display individidual posts, along with timestamps to sort by. 2) Sender is always displayed along with the mail.
Some useful extras:
3) Make the sender tag that gets added to the message a link, so that I can click on it and bring up mails that I've saved from that person. 4) Change the index portion of the screen depending on sort type: if I sort by sender, it shows me an entry for each sender, and I can click on a sender to bring up a list of messages from that sender. If I sort by timestamp, it shows me a list of the most recent few subject lines with sender and timestamp, along with links to pages older messages.
There's a lot of email systems out there to model it on, none of which come close to being as bad as the one in EVE.
Funny story: a while back, I recieved an in-game (mass) email from a developer asking for feedback on an event I had participated in. He wanted us to respond to his outside email, and said that the reason he wanted us to respond outside the game was that the ingame email was horrible!
In any case, any improvement to the in-game mail system would be fantastic.

Realistically we are talking about a culture that is essentially far superior to our current IRL. I imagine a few tweaks to the ole mail box should be supported. Seeing as how its 2008 and even microsoft has this one figured out.

I suggested this as a useful feature in the last CCP/CSM meeting. The CSM supported it and CCp acknowledged it. Changes to mail system are being looked at in the very near future.
Take care, Arithron

The name will be right there in the "To" line....
Apart from that:
The whole email system is <insert alot of derogatory terms>
