On the boards of the realms (and in the mail folder as well) the messages are ordered sequentially with the oldest first and the newest at the bottom near the prompt, as shown in the first example.

It is proposed to add an option to allow the sequence to be reversed.
The question is: if that option is added, would you use it?

Just to clarify this option, I think it should come with a caveat. That is, the option to reverse only applies in situations where "more" is invoked on your mail or board list. For example, if you had 500 messages in your mailbox, you would see the latest 20 mails in reverse order (500-481). If you then pressed "enter", you would see the next 20 (480-461).

I know that for me, if I have a thousand emails, I probably don't want 900 to scroll by first before getting to the 100 that I need to address right now.

Unless you're on council.. you're not going to have more than 100 mails in your box. So maybe this is more for wizards?

That has been changed a while ago.

You get alarms around 100 messages, but once passed 100, you'll lose these, I have a character with close to 150 mails in mailbox, and no complaints from the mailreader. Mortal character that is...

Oh.. i didn't know that. I always see an alarm and start deleting.

Posted: **15 May 2013 01:57**

Huh?! I sure cant send any mails when I reach more than 100! Yes I can GET mails, but not SEND any until I delete. Tried just a few days ago.

Mirilander sends and recives mails with 129 in mailbox...

Posted: **15 May 2013 08:31**

Laurel has had 250+ mails for quite a long time now ...

My understanding was that they made a change to allow for more mails depending on the age of your character.
