    Greetings,
    I would like to suggest being able to see all of your "/mail" across all servers. I believe this would be a good thing to implement as some people hardly log on to some servers and as a result some of their "/mail" can be left unread for a long time. I believe the /mail read command could be formatted similarly to the "/m <username>" across all servers. For example: "[otter360 @economy] Hello" if you did /mail read on the /skyblock server. I am unsure of the amount of work that would be required to implement this feature if there was enough support for it.

    I look forward to your thoughts and concerns,
    otter360

    I feel like the current mail setup is fine, because it’s easier to know what server it’s from. For now i’m going to say Neutral as I don’t see that much of a positive affect from this.

    If you are banned from a server then you probably shouldn’t have the ability to communicate with them. (mailing) That’s my personal opinion though!

    What im saying is that if say, I was tempbanned on economy for 30 days and someone mailed me asking if i was still buying ranks and you couldnt respond and they went inactive and didnt come back.

    Players should not be benefitted if they were rightfully banned from our server(s). With the addition of global messaging, there truly is no purpose for a global mailing system. I don't think the reasoning behind this is strong, but I do understand where you're coming from.
    It's not our fault if a player breaks our rules and is banned from the server. Players should always be following our rules and can further learn to follow them by missing out on these kinds of things. There's no point in a ban if players are going to be able to continue to play (in a way) in the same place they broke our rules. It completely takes away the reasoning behind why we ban players.

    Being able to communicate with a person you had a deal with has nothing to do with being banned on the server. I had wanted to upgrade that guy but I couldn't respond to his /mail, but I was the one being punished for what I did not him. If I were able to respond to him we could have made a deal and I could have upgraded their rank. But I couldn't and it was not their fault. Cross server mailing makes sense overall, and bans arent even the only reason. Its more simple to have one 'mailbox' for both of the servers.

    My reply was simply my opinion on the suggestion. I don't think it's necessary, and I'd much rather keep my mailboxes separate. I disagree with your opinion/stance on the matter, but I do not wish to steer away from the suggestion and continue discussing it.

    I like the sound of this. However, a lot of people use my mail if they need something and having them separate means I know if they need something on economy or survival.

    I do think the current set up is fine and it’s not too much trouble switching between them both to see mail however, I have no objection to this idea :)

    I personally support as I do not get a lot of mail, so it wouldn't effect me a lot and it would be nice to have it all in one place, but I do understand how it may get too busy for others especially like Megan said that it may be hard to distinguish where its from. So you could categorise it?
    I have no objection to this idea so support! :D

    I No Support this Suggestion.

    As others have said, it’s nice to have separate mailboxes as if the mails don’t have much context, you know which of the servers they are talking about
    The integration of global mailboxes may also remove peoples current mails that they have not cleared, which may lead to some upset in the community (people losing voucher codes, sentimental messages etc.)

    You missed the no support button again :D
    Oh, that makes more sense.

    I believe when online it only shows which server when you use /m. This lets you cross server message. I think otters suggestion is for /mail read command. I may be wrong but that is how I read it :)

    Support, but if a player plays across servers and has an active mail box it might get jumbled up.

    Perhaps, if it's possible instead, a message could appear below the mails when someone does /mail read on a respective server, telling them that they have unread messages on /skyblock or /economy etc.

    Your idea might need some more elaboration. With your current concept it's common to make reading mistakes when you get a mixture of mails from both servers. It would require better sorting and possibly a change in layout.

    Could you think of a way to improve it?

    I can't think of any occasions where I've had issues with the current mail system. To me it's fine as it is.

    For everyone who says they would need a way to organize the mail, here is an example I made. :)
    “You have x mail from Survival and x mail from Economy”

    [Survival] Mail sent from: <player> - Blah blah

    [Economy] Mail sent from: <player> - Blah blah blah

    Something like this and keeping the Mail’s organized so all survival mail at the top and eco at the bottom.
    Also, neutral leaning towards support because love the idea but I’m not sure if it’s very necessary.
