Ingame mail not received until zone/relog

Most of the time, any mail you get is not received until you relog or zone elsewhere.

woufff✭✭✭✭Confirmed, I understood that this is an old kind of bug, sometimes it is really very slow to recieve the mails, any particular reason for that?PC/EU&NA - Redguard Nightblade - Grand Master Crafter - Explorer of Tamriel & Skyrim - Playing Starfield (and awaiting TES VI ^^)0 -
Octopuss✭✭✭✭✭I wouldn't mind if trhere was like a minute delay so the systems don't get overloaded, but having to zone is major annoyance when I need to run around several traders in one area.
Besides, it seems so random it most certain is a bug of sorts.Edited by Octopuss on October 8, 2017 10:03AM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭In my experience, this is normal for most players. It has certainly been normal for me since I started playing in 2015.4 -

That is not a bug. It is a feature of the original design of the game software. Not that it cannot be changed to operate as we would all prefer. However, ZOS would rather create new flawed features with implementation errors for the next DLC or "chapter" that they want us to buy A$AP. So they don't have either the personnel or the budget to improve features such as e-mail transit time. Considering some of the outcomes when ZOS does "improve" a feature, we may all be better off if they leave this one as it is.Most of the time, any mail you get is not received until you relog or zone elsewhere.
If you want e-mail messages that arrive "instantly", then play Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft. Just be aware that you will discover that WoW has its problems, too.
Note to ZOS: my humble remarks are not intended as criticism, just a statement of the evident facts. There is nothing wrong with delaying e-mail message delivery until doing that is convenient for the game software and the servers which run it. Players will accept it, just don't expect them to like it.

Octopuss✭✭✭✭✭It would make sense IF mails sometimes didn't arrive instantly (even during evenings when most people are online).
No, I believe it's a bug of some sort they simply don't care about. It's not game breaking, but certainly is annoying as hell.
If there was a flat 5 minutes delay or something, I'd be ok with it. But not this randomized state.0 -

yes, this has been around since launch. not sure if intended or bug they do not care about fixing. but yes, it could be at least every few minutes it could download new mails from server. no need to port to another province for that0 -
