It would be really great if we could upload pictures into our PMs from our computers or copy and paste pictures in. Right now you can only upload them from URLs but it would be great if we could upload screenshots which would help in resolving some disputes without people having to reveal their email addresses.

Agree +1  +1  +1   Clap

This would reduce the time I spend sending information to people and increase the time I spend playing.

I'd hate that, because I often use the existing option to sort all trade mails by subject, and then delete blocks of "replaced", "disappointed", "returning", etc., keeping only fresh "begin gathering" mails for inspection (= will my van get the rest, or should I send another van to this spot => after that decision the "begin gathering" mail can be deleted by the ridiculous exit mail + flag it + scroll down + delete procedure, one of my two pet peeves in Illy.)

It would be helpful if a single message could be sent to multiple players at one time. Not to an entire alliance, mind you, but having the option to send something to more than just a single player at a time would be helpful.

Organization is the biggest headache for the current mail system. I would suggest that the many, many system messages we receive be directed exclusively into their own folder and not be intermixed with "general" mail from other players. This would increase the usefulness of the "select all" button when trying to eliminate groups of system messages. With the messages mixed as they are, it is extremely rare that one can actually use the "select all" feature due to the intermixing of messages that one wants to keep.

Enlarging the checkboxes in the mailbox, or making them sensitive to proximity clicks, would reduce the need for such tedious precision when clicking, which slows down the process of working with multiple messages.

When opening and reading a message on any page other than page 1, the mailbox resets you back to page 1 when you close the message. It would be convenient to be able to remain in the page you are working in instead of being booted back to page 1 after every closure.

System messages concerning resource harvesting could include the city of origin in the subject line. If this issue were addressed, I would suggest rephrasing the subject line so as to present the information with more efficiency rather than having it just grow longer. Example: current message reads: Caravans begin gathering at square -589|492. To amend this, I would suggest: Clarion caravans begin gathering @ [-589|492]. (Clarion is the name of one of my towns.)

The ability to delete Sent Messages has already been mentioned, but I would emphasize the importance of that. Being able to archive or move messages into a "save" folder would be very helpful.

Yes, it is a pain, which is exactly why Butler moves it.

Maybe instead of building all this stuff in Illy itself. You should implement a commercial mail solution. Restricting it to illy players only.  

Otherwise this all seems a bit like chopping down the elm tree.

  Not sure if this has been mentioned but a notes option where you could write/ save/ edit notes on individual players/ locations would be great.

I was about to begin a new post about the e-mail interface when I ran across this.  So, just like everyone else, I am adding my two cents worth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.
Forwarding and Replying on all messages should attach the original sender / receiver name. 
e.g.
Quote
> FW: Scout Mission to -------- Completely Successful!
> Received: 12 Mar 2012 18:07
> Sent By: System
> Sent to SunStorm
> Original Message:
 

Then if I forwarded this to Billy Joe Bob --> who forwards it to GM Stormcrow --> who is about to forward it along to someone else = it would look like this:
e.g.
Quote
> FW: FW: FW: Scout Mission to -------- Completely Successful!
> Received: 12 Mar 2012 18:35
> Sent By: Billy Joe Bob
> Sent To: GM Stormcrow
> Original Message:

Hey GM Stormcrow, Billy Joe Bob just sent me this message of SunStorm's scout report - thought you should take a look...

Quote
>> FW: FW: Scout Mission to -------- Completely Successful!
>> Received: 12 Mar 2012 18:34
>> Sent By: SunStorm
>> Sent To: Billy Joe Bob
>> Original Message:

Billy Joe Bob, take a look at this!

Quote
>>> FW: Scout Mission to -------- Completely Successful!
>>> Received: 12 Mar 2012 18:07
>>> Sent By: System
>>> Sent to SunStorm
>>> Original Message:
And so on and so forth....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2.
Text messaging allow cell-phone users to "lock" a message.  These messages cannot be accidentally deleted unless someone goes through the process of un-locking them.  Please develop this feature for in game messages so someone can confidently click the "select all" box and delete system messages they no longer need (whether read or unread) without the fear of deleting something important in the process. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3.

Wow, that pretty racist...  fine then, I would like the opposite.  I would like a feature to filter out "Dwarf messeges" while still allowing Elf and Orc messages through.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(That last one is a joke and HM is being quoted out of context...Please don't take it serious - and if you are a Dwarf, please don't attack.)  (^_^)
