Internal Mail Database Error

I continue to get an Internal Mail database Error. At first it would just appear as I looted the mail box, but now it wo’nt allow me to mail anything to any of my alts on one server (Stormarage) I put in a bug request and got nothing, put in a technical issue and still nothing. I deleted all my addons, also renamed the three files in the retail file, and still nothing, am about ready to delete the whole blasted game soon.

Update - Jodariel I tried them all, it worked once, with one item mailed, then right back to same error, and no mail being sent out on any alts on server, even with just one item sent

Update 2: SO it turns out that Blizzard did some coding changes to darkmoon Faire potions, and these can not be sent by mail now. I picked through all the items in bags and sure enough no error message and items can now be sent.

So you did a full UI reset, including making sure that any addon managers were uninstalled?

If that doesn’t work, the problem is most likely memory-related. I’d recommend running some memory diagnostics and closing background applications.

QA only responds to bug reports if they need more information. Random bugs, and ones affecting only a few players, are harder to find and fix.

What do you mean by this? Did you make a thread in technical support or did you make a technical support ticket?

I would suggest putting in a live chat ticket for tech support. I believe they may be open right now as well.

To be clear, you’re still receiving all your items from the mail. It’s just a weird display bug. I get it all the time but it has zero effect on the actual game.

I’m pretty sure it’s one of my addons, but since it’s just a brief display on the screen and not actually losing anything, I’m really not worried about it.

Internal Mail Database Error tends to be an interface situation, rather than an actual bug - typically you get it when pulling something out of the mail, but whatever you pulled out still goes to your inventory as Perl said.

Understood, but it went from being a display annoyance to now I can not send ANYTHING to any of my other toons, like a banker via mail. So now it is not really worth doing anything that gets me items because I either have to vendor them or destroy them, and can’t mail them, to another toon such as an enchanter for disenchant or such. I’ve seen this all over the net but no one has ever put out a fix, and when you ask in chat the only ones who answer say things like, delete account or other such foolishness. I am really getting frustrated with this.

I’d wager this is a UI issue. The recommendations above to do a full and proper reset UI would be my recommendations as well.

Also, make sure to test this before you readd ANY addons.

I read on Wowhead that several others had the same issue, on that thread someone stated that the darkmoon potions gotten from floating debris are now duration tagged, and that they now bug the mail system into not allowing anything sent via mail. So as long as I don’t try to send them through the mail like I used to, then it works fine. I played all day yesterday and sent many thing to my banker, and as long as it was not the potions it worked fine, but the second I did try the potion, I had to reset and delete the 3 files. I’m not a computer genius but sounds like a coding issue, not a UI issue. read my edit in the original post.

File a Bug Report. QA does not take bug reports from the Customer Support forum and the SFAs here are not liaisons with them.

Well I must admit this worries me a bit.

I am getting this when checking my mail for Auction Successful and Auction Expired items. Either when the gold begins to flow in or my old items, the error appears many times at center-top, and I am not sure if I am getting my auction items/gold properly.

I am using the TSM add-on, BTW.

I would disable it then, but you probably should do a UI reset as mentioned in the blue response.

I have done all what has been suggested over and over…brand new system windows 10…no addons…brand new download WoW installed and still get errors…full reset …still get errors…it needs to be fixed…just like that PVP talent blinking all the time…I had to get the addon to stop seeing it on all my toons even though I set all pvp stuff.

What addon is that? The pvp notification drives me nuts.

I use the NoItsNot addon.
