Access Mail without entering game

When the game is down or when we simply just can't enter the game, it would still be nice to be available to receive and send mail using the Mail system. The updates wall is fine but sometimes you just want to read old mail or send mail directly to someone in-game. Could a Mail or Inbox link be added to the Home page?

If the issue is attachments and inventory, I think it's perfectly reasonable to exclude it from offline Mail or prevent the player from accessing it while not in-game.

    I'd love to be able to mail my friends while the game's down. Posting on the wall ends up really confusing. You have to befriend people you don't even know to figure out what's going on half of the time, even when you see all sides of the conversation, sometimes it's hard to figure out exactly what's going on, as the posts from different people are all over the place. 
    Also, sometimes I'd like to have a one to one conversation with someone while game's down and not have everyone be able to read it.

  • +infinite: as I've said in Folkian's thread (here), it seems like a real shame that mail isn't available when they've done so much work to make the site work on mobile. It'd make being able to acces the site via mobile more interesting. Also definitely agreed with Ebil about tracking conversations.

  • +1 to mail without logging in. Even after game is 24/7 this would be a great feature.

  • This has been suggested (I think) in my own thread HERE. Feel free to update that with this content and +1s. I've intentionally set it up for topic expansion so don't worry to much about the Original Post topic unless you feel like contributing to it too. :)

  • This is a good idea that has been suggested many times, so hopefully plans are in the works to make this happen. The newest hire is working on mobile products, which is an area where something like this would fit in perfectly. :)
