<DIV>Well, tonight's patch seems to have a new mail bug along with it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I can't receive mailed attachments. When trying to Receive Gifts, I get the chat message "You are unable to take gifts from messages at this time." After attempting to retrieve attachments once, the Receive Gifts button greys out until you close the letter and reopen it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Another thing about this - the mail icon did correctly display the number of unread messages waiting. However, I got the on-screen popup telling me I had unread mail only after being in-game for several minutes - not immediately upon logging in like usual. I would also get the message popup every time I <EM>opened</EM> an unread mail. Maybe there's something about the way the notification is working with the new functionality (counting the unread messages) that is inadvertently preventing attachments from being retrieved. Somehow.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I thought I'd run around to all of my characters, and see if reading all unread mail might somehow clear the queues in the system and allow for attachment retrieval. In doing this, I was able to receive one or two gifts, but only if I was able to get to a mailbox and retrieve something before any "You have unread mail" popup notifications came. This only worked twice though - and didn't work on other characters when I tried catching it before the notices came. I think that somehow I just managed to try at just the right time, and whatever's preventing attachment retrieval didn't catch those few that worked.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And no - reading all unread mail on all characters didn't fix the issue. Still can't retrieve any mail items. "You are unable to take gifts from messages at this time".</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Coin attachments seem to be working correctly.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I also ran into an attachment sending oddity. When trying to add an item to mail (to an alt), the item wouldn't go into the attachment slot, and I got the message, "Only one sent mail message can be pending at a time." This only happened twice, and I was able to clear the issue by sending a plain text message instead, which would go through, and then I'd be able to add attachments to mails again. Add this to the observed evidence of mail high-weirdness - maybe it helps you guys find the problem faster.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Okay, that's what I've got on the new mail problems for now. I'll post any new findings I come across.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
