seems like the Mail UIs made it into the last test server patch.Someone on test noted this on the vault boards :"Also, the mail UI files are indeed in game mail. From the screens I could view of them, you can send a coin and/or an item to someone in addition to the usual message functions.There were 10 pages to the in box, so it looks like you may not have to worry about back logs of incomming mail. There is a seperate window to view individual mail items.There was also a postage of 30 copper. That may well change as it could be just a default or temporary value for now.If you have seen how the mail UI's work in WoW, it looks to be fairly similar in EQ2. "So is mail implemented yet?

<DIV>They have been adding a little bit of mial UI for a while.  But this certainly seems to be a huge UI change.  They did say this was only half the patch notes for update 5, so it could well be in a few weeks.</DIV>

<DIV>Keeping my fingers crossed that Sony can catch up to Blizzard on this, the one thing I miss most from WoW.</DIV>

Moorgard stated in one of his public interviews (don't have the link handy but it's somewhere on this forum) that a mail system was coming in soon. He stated this back in February I think.

Moorgard did mention on that same vault thread that mail was indeed going to be part of the next big patch, but was not in the patch notes because it was not fully implemented yet.I expect we will be hearing more about it very soon now. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Let's just hope that there is a mailbox in the tradeskill instance. That way guild mates can mail me harvested items and I can mail them back their drinks. Talk about a useful feature!

Kind of makes the whole feature pointless as if they're on the same faction its easy enough to either used your shared bank slot or meet up. P.S dont you just love the one star bandits who can't even be brave enough to give a reason.

There is a reason why you can't swap items easily between factions, it defeats the entire purpose of the black market.The send item feature is not intended as a alt-swap item feature. It is actually intended for players to send items to other players. Friends, guildmates, etc. It will get a lot of use, I am quite sure.
