"You've Got Mail" Feature Where is it?

What happened to the feature where a mailbox displays if you have mail for a character on the sign in screen? This would save me tons of time.

As far as I know, it wasn’t working correctly and I’m pretty sure it got disabled for now.

I hope they fix it and bring it back. Not going to lie, easily one of the nicest QoL features I never knew I needed until I got it.

Thanks for posting this. I thought I was just misremembering seeing that mail feature at character selection for like one night and was wondering if one of my addons had done it. Here’s hoping that it’s brought back at some point.

FYI add-ons cannot modify the character select screen.

I saw it one time and thought, “Oh, that’s a helpful addition.” Next login, it was gone :frowning:

After receiving an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from the mailbox icon. The devs decided it made life too convenient, so they removed it.

Anyone know if there’s an estimate for when it’ll be added back in? It really was a good idea, and in my (admittedly limited) experience with coding, I don’t think it’d be too terribly hard to implement that sort of feature.

I’m out of likes but please add this! I’d like it : )

I could have swore you were a Shaman last expac. :thinking:

I’ve been wondering this as I have mail on my bank alt but the mail icon isn’t on the character in the character selection screen

I’m confused. Yesterday I saw the little mailbox item next to my minimap. I went to a mailbox, and sure enough there was mail.

That happened to me yesterday. So how could it be “disabled”?

Oh wait – you are talking about “on the character selection screen”. That’s different. Never mind.

It was overwhelming some system is what I heard
