    Suggestion: I think that mail you receive should be a different color than white. I think maybe it should be purple like pms or green like the color of the resident name tag.
    Reason: I find it very hard to read mail because it's not a color that stands out to me. White is a plain and general color so when I'm trying to read my mail my eyes don't go right to it I have to type /mail read multiple times before I see it.

    Other Information: As for the color really any color that stands out will work, but I don't think that white, black, dark blue, or yellow would be the best chose.

    This is kind of understandable, I don't know if it will happen though. It is meant to be generic. A grey may work though?

    For the small amounts of time I get mail, I always have to use /mail read more than a few times because I can't every find the actual message. The Purple in a pm would be the best color to do so (In my own opinion)

    I agree, I don't always see the white text in a busy chat. The mail gets lost in the box. +1

    I partially disagree, simply because most of the other colors are used in a lot of ways already. PM pink in particular is used a fair amount already.

    If any color, I would suggest grey. However... I would suggest changing the color of the sender's name, and keep the message itself white (or grey).

    Although, I do not see much issue with /ch leave g (tr, auc, /lot messages, etc) for a minute to read mail. Even then, yes, it can be hard to see... But it is too difficult.

    Personally, I think if we were to change how mail is read at all, add it so the players name matches their rank/title.

    Staff messages would stand out as they should and players would be slightly more visible.

    I would love to be able to save certain messages and delete others.

    So many times I have one or two important messages I don't want to delete and a bunch of other ones that can be read once and deleted immediately. My mail builds up quickly until I am able to clear it all out at once.

    Sry for the Derail.
