Is there a fix for the extremely slow mails?

Not in guilds, and my friends aren't on when I am./refreshui may work also
I haven't had it work at all. A friend has it work occasionally, but not reliably.Edited by Sylvermynx on February 6, 2020 4:05AM0 -
LoneStar2911✭✭✭✭✭I always use friends or guild mates to teleport to. Or use a wayshrine to go to a different zone.
It's pretty lame, but it's the best workaround, imo.
/reloadui has never worked for me (to get mail).
Logging out, even to just the character screen, and back in has always taken much longer for me than just using a wayshrine to zone or teleporting.
I hope this is something that can/will be fixed after this year's improvements are implemented. It would certainly be a decent QoL change for a lot of players.(PC-NA) @LoneStar29112 -

This only seems to work when the load on the mail server is fairly light. Usually in those cases, opening the inbox would cause the mail to pop.
I'd say there tends to be priority to certain kinds of mail, but I'm not sure if that's true, or if it's really just random.3 -

If you jump to the same region, say Glenumbra -> Glenumbra , it won't check for new mail.

It doesn't help receiving, but if you include 1 gold, that expedites the sending of mail at least.0 -

✭✭The fix is on ZOS's end. We can only work around it.
Edit:
Interesting. So they deliberately made mails inconvenient. They pulled the same thing on guild banks to "fix" a duplicating bug.Sorry to burst those dreams for who think it might be fixed in a performance update: ZOS turned instant mail off intentionally because it was putting a lot of stress on the servers, causing a lot of lag.

I've had /reloadui fail to load the mail for me most of the time, while rezoning has never failed on me. I think that it forces your client to actively reload your character from the server, which also includes your mail. (At least that's my theory- I am not at all tech savvy when it comes to this
)

Mails aren't slow. It's a "mechanic". First time you open your mail window after logging in a zone, it updates. Every single time, no failure. After opening the window mail, anything you get afterwards will not come until you rezone, relog or wait for a whiiiile. That's not fixable, it's by design.1 -

It's not a time factor. Zoning forces the server to do something with the character (I'm not entirely sure what) which prompts the system to query the mail. Move to a new zone and you force the mail to pop.1
