Mailboxes are a good start but....

I think they're great but they seem to need tweaking. My thoughts:
~needs a "reply" button (others mentioned this but I'm collecting various ideas in one place)
~needs a way for sender to choose how many of an item to send rather than just a whole stack
~would be nice to be able to attach more than one item as well rather than spending 20 currants multiple times if you are sending several items to one person
~I don't get why the mailboxes can't perform both send and receive functions...maybe it's a tech thing (I'm clueless tech-wise). Just very weird to me that I can't do either/or at one spot.

Anyone else got mailbox ideas? Those are mine:)

  • I'll echo Rascalmom's entire post.

    I would also like to see a mailbox on the INSIDE of my house. Maybe a wall-mount unit just inside the front door or something.

  • I was just coming in the ideas forum to post this very thing! TY RM and yes, please, Devs.

  • Yes! A reply option, and the ability to select how many of each item we want to send.

    A mail slot in the door would be awesome,but IMHO having a postbox to send/receive mail at the entry (sign post) of each housing division,plus right next to subways and vendors would be sufficient.

  • At first, I was puzzled by the absence of a reply button, but now I've tried it, I quite like the fact that I have to consciously go somewhere to post a message. In that respect, it's a bit more like real-life mail rather than just another email system.

    I'd definitely like to be able to control the quantities of things I was sending though - I don't always want to send a whole stack at a time.

  • I'd just as soon not have a mail box in my house.  I like the idea that there's one at the entrance of each housing area, plus vendors and subway.

  • Would mail-slots on each house end up with us all getting junk mail? 'Cos honestly, I get enough crap in my RL mailbox (and flyers under my wipers, and cards stuck on my bike, and and and) that I really don't want to have random adverts shoved into my little glitch-haven.

    (Which I just bought after the last test ended and now I really want to go move in... open open open open....)

  • Actually, I think getting occasional Glitch-style junk mail in the mailbox would be pretty cool - like the stuff we see on the posters on the subway.
