In Game Email

[gralen]

SoR provides a nice in game email and guild forum feature. Here are some easy steps for accessing the email system:

This is the pad, you may think it's your friend but it's not...right click on it and select icon mode for something that won't hide the ragus that's about to eat you.

This is the icon menu, it's your friend, know it well.

Clicking the windows button (bottom row second from right) will pop up this window:

Note the Communication area containts Main Chat, System Info, Contact List and Mailbox. Put a check next to mailbox to open the email system. For future reference, notice that the Guild & Team area has Guild Info, Guild Forum and Team, SoR provides an in game forum for your guild.

After you put a check next to mailbox, close the windows dialog and you'll see your mailbox.

Send yourself a message and become familiar with it. There is no in game notice that you've received a message; so if you're going to use it, remember to check it regularly.

Yulric pointed out that the mailbox window can be shown by binding it to a key:


Press K to see your key list or press Shift + K to see your macro list, the result is basically the same, these directions will assume the use of the key list (press K)
Click New Key in the upper right of the dialog
Set Category to Windows
Set Action to Show / Hide
Set Name to Mail box
Click the key field and assign a key, if the key is already assigned to another action it will warn you in the assign dialog
Click OK on both dialogs to save your key assignment

Just a note as well that this will work equally well for in-game guild forums.

Bump, not showing due to the only show the current month filter.

Yeah but they havn't fixed the bug where if a guild has a space in it's name they can't access forums :S

Believe me, being from Comitatus Praetorian, I feel your pain. In game mail works and forums work for the one worded guilds, the rest of us have to wait on forums, again.

Hi!

It's deactivated on some servers due to problems unknown to me.
Can't say for Arispotle but Leanon's mailsystem is offline, I assume this is the case for all european servers right now.
