Inbox

Your inbox is where you find all mails that you have received, usually with the most recent items at the top of the first page. To view older mails, you should scroll down the list or go to other pages.

You can re-sort the order of the mails by clicking on the Type or Date column headers. A second click on the same column header will reverse the order.

Outbox

The Outbox simply displays all the mails that you have sent to other players. These mails cannot be removed, and will automatically disappear after a couple of weeks.

The outbox is useful for confirming that a mail has been sent, and also for forwarding a mail to another person.
