    mailbox limit

    so i can loot only 50 items from the mailbox, and if i have more than 50 i have to wait like 30 sec for the next 50 and so on. is there any way to increase this limit so i can pick up more than 50 at one time ?

    No way to increase the limit but once you've gotten the 50, just /console reloadui and the next set will appear.

    No. I'd recommend a mod that just collects everything for you, and has a reload button. Click click, 50 items. Click click, 50 items.

    No. As annoying as it is, it's there to reduce the load on the mail server.

    A /reload is completely useless since it's the server throttling the information, not the UI. All a reload does is kill time while waiting for the server to hit the time limit.

    It's definetly not useless to do a /reload - I can't explain how or why it works - but I can confirm that even if the reload lasts 2-3 seconds the new mail will be there. Works every time. Guarenteed.

    Hmm, not had many of these problems as my banks and bags are normally bulging with items that I look stuff from the mail and then go to sort them. Though, when I have time, I don't feel much in a hurry and haven't really experienced the 30 seconds thing yet. (And I just emptied my mailbox for WoD blues and greens for DE)

    mailbox takes 60sec to refresh, mail retrieve takes roughly 20-30sec (different addon/script) for 50 single items mails. If you have a SSD, it's definitely worth the time to reload

    Great lesson I've learned... always check your assumptions before stating them as fact. :\

    Nope, you don't have to do that. Just leave the mail open and it will automatically collect everything.
