In-game email functionality

Gargath

Please let me know when will I see in email such functions like deleting all my emails by one click and taking all attachments/money by one click.

When I usually get tens of emails (70 today) I have to manually click on every one of them to first take attachment then delete email.

the mail system is very tedious

olsborg

The only tedius part of the mail system is the forced relog or long wait to recibe them.

To help your situacion, just use Nothankyou addon. Then spam E(recibe attach) and X (delete mail). I pick my 100 daily mails in 30 seconds.

No, Thank You! helps for sure. Same with Upgrading items via Crafting.

Addons are great but I think that email functionality is a part of game to be maintained only by ZOS and I'm sure they are able to handle such a simple issue.

It's obvious to me that if a game allows to keep in mailbox tens of emails, it should allow to mark them all or only several, for deleting or taking attachments - seems logical.

Just copy an idea from other games, SWTOR for example - it has a fantastic mailbox. Three options to click - mark all, delete, take attachments - work perfect.

While I agree 100%, it's clearly apparent that ZOS didn't want to spend more than 10 minutes making the UI / functionality, and thus left it the players to deal with all of the tedious crap.

While I'd love a better mail system, as I think we all would, there are dozens upon dozens of bigger issues for ZOS to deal with first.

Also the lack of a proper confirmation of a sent message is really annoying. I often get double mails from people because they were not sure it sent in the first place.
Also the limit of inbox mails is too short. I'd also like a reply option.
However, I asked for these things in the ESO Live thread and they answered the question:
Go to 31:10

Basically the answer was no, there will be no updates for the mail system, but they like the ideas.

After such response I could only think about their bad will. They like the idea but will do nothing, even if they can.
Why not? Because.

What I personally dislike is when people pretend that they like something just to show you they are so much concerned about your problem, but in fact everyone knows that they are lying .

Folders would be a great addition too. You can put mails in there that you don't want to be deleted. Or have tabs, so mails from guild members and friends go into separate places.
The basis of my guild runs from the mail system, they need to send me mails in order to rank up and record bites, therefore I get many mails each day and its very tedious using such a limited system. I know there are many other GMs that have this problem with their guild management.

While you do have to "select" the mail, on PC/Mac it is not necessary to click on the mail options to take the attachments, delete, and confirm. EXE is your friend. Highlight the mail, then E (take attachments) X (delete) E (confirm delete).

I really would like them to update the email system, add more options like other email programs.

I personally would like to see an option to get offline notifications when I get emailed in game when I am offline.

I would like a reply function. Having to type the name every time I respond to someone is a bit bothersome to me. Hence, I don't often reply to email sent to me in game.

Yes I do it that way, trying to speed up the proces of receiving 100 emails in one time.
Without using EXE it would be too much pain. Nonetheless EXE is not a real solution, just a half-measure.

Just imagine thousands of people doing hundreds EXEs fast in a same time, it must influence on game lag .
