How do you mass delete your email without crashing?


Vendor spam has piled up on me to the point where it takes 10 seconds to delete one email.


Deleting more than 5 at a time locks up and crashes my game.


I have over 4000 emails stuck in my box I can't delete now, and another 200-400 added a day. It takes almost a full minute to even open my mailbox now, and I have no way to delete it anymore. I can't sort it either without making the delay to load my mail 5 minutes or more the next time I open it.


Help?


I'd like to just delete my vendor mail and keep my mail from other players.





Unfortunately, there is no way to do that as far as I know.

To delete ALL emails however, do a /emptymail

This is quick, and painless, and will delete every email you have.

Make sure to use /mailsave to save them first if you want to keep them stored on your harddrive (should not be a problem for someone to make an email reader application for that email, there are already applications that analyze the vendor emails)

I have a tip/anti-tip for ya'll:


If you are a politician/mayor and are placing city decorations like streetlamps, fountains and statutes, you can combine them into a single spot, so thata streetlamp can be phased through your statue/fountain, for cool lighting effects on your statues/fountains.


When you drop your fountain/statue, simply stand in place, and drop your streetlamp there too.


There's a catch, though. Make sure this is what you want to do, becuase if it's wrong, you will never be able to pull them back up without CSR assistance, as it will not allow you to target them to "remove" them thereafter. You can click on them and the radial comes up, but it'll give you the "You can't see that object" error.


So, perhaps this is more a cautionary tip than anything else. Perhaps if this gets fixed somehow, I wouldn't need to bug the CSR's so much, but I found this out the hard way after I did it for looks, and then found I couldn't undo it.






actually there is a way to undo this. If you can target the item but cant pick it up, use the /move command and move the object away from where it is stuck...this will then free it so you can pick it up and re place it

Assuming you did target your vehicle first, wouldn't this unmount and remount? or would the /mount be attempted prior to the /unmount completing?

Yes exactly, due to lag the unmount won't be done yet whne your client tries to /mount. I'm not sure if the command is /unmount or /dismount. I know that /dismount works, /unmount might too i'm not sure as I said.


But i would use /wave instead of /puke... works as well and looks better


Now go to your options with ctrl-o, Control section, click Keymap and use the "Custom" tap. Now search for the macro "Swoop" in this case, and bind it toa key. So its always available and doesn't use a valuable F-Slot. Works with every other macro as well btw.


Also with patch 10 that bug finally gets fixed (at least its on TC) you only need the "/unmount; /mount;" then.

Doesnt really make much sense to read mail offline. Ya gotta log in to retrieve it, or for the mail system to operate. Then ya have to /mailsave and then either go offline or alt tab to read it? Too many things to do just to read the mail when its right there anyways.

Here's a tip to help you with the upcoming change with regards to recursive macros:


(this one is just an example, but it can apply to anything)



Make a Macro called COB-LOOP


Then add the following lines:


/center;

/pause 10; <-- this number may change depending on your level of skill. Experiment with it.

/center;

/pause 10;


why not just put your COB icon in the righthand top row slot ( the F12 equivalent ) and make this macro into the F11 slot:


/ui action toolbarSlot11
/pause 10
/ui action toolbarSlot10


Pretty much shorter and never ends When you want to end it, just type /dump







Devs are taking away the abilities to call macros again, thats what a recursive macro is. So no armor macros either because thats calling slots in your toolbar.
