    Did you collect your last one? Not sure if it matters or not if you open the mail. Might test that myself today.

    The tooltip says that I am supposed to receive mats twice a day. Not happened even once in the last month. Just the one mail. And I play a nightblade, so pretty much the entire page that comes up by pressing 'K' is a bugged piece of crap.

    There is definitely something weird going on with Hirelings. My first guess is that the timer on the Hirelings stops when the servers are taken offline during the maintenance periods. I should receive the mail from my hirelings every 12 hours, say 9 AM and 9 PM. The maintenance windows somehow shift the emails by a few hours. So instead of arriving at 9 AM, the emails arrive at 12 PM which pushes the next email to 12 AM.

    Further, and I have not confirmed this, but I think the timer does not start until you actually receive the previous email. If I am due a Hireling email at 10:00 AM but I don't login in until 11:30 AM to receive it, the timer starts at 11:30 AM and not 10:00 AM thus the next email wouldn't arrive until 11:30 PM instead of 10:00 PM. Again, I need to verify this to be certain but this is what seems to be happening. Has anyone gone a couple of days without logging in and they still had 4 or more emails from the same Hireling waiting for them?

    Apparently this bug is back....about half the time I'm gettting letters but no supplies for the past two days
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    I have 18 characters all with the hirelings topped..So I get 5 mails from each character. Starting today I get all the mails but, some on each character just has a long mail with no materials...Is this something new if it is it sucks I spend training points to get something not a letter to read.

    One of my add-ons changed and is looting the materials from my mail before I look at it. Did you check to see if that is happening? At first I thought I was getting empty mail, but it's not.

    I think it might be the lazy writ one, but I'm not 100% sure. Edit: So I already did it today, but I checked and the only addons I have enabled right now is Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Creator ( I suspect it's this one), dressing room, map pins, quest map, and Tamriel Trade. I'm pretty certain it's the writ one. Edit2: the change log for Dolgubon's says they added auto hireling looting and you can change it in the settings.
