Add-ons to Mailbox
« on: October 18, 2015, 04:13:17 AM »

When you open a message, can you add a 'Move to Archive' option?
It's kinda annoying to have to go back and then make sure I archive the right message.

Also, I would like to have the ability to purchase/acquire another Mail Notepad via DP or other means. I know, we have two but I recently need a third.

I use the first notepad to include ideas/things about my character such as general information, jutsus, training, various sources/links, etc. It's basically my 'character development' notepad

The second notepad I use for miscellaneous things that are somewhat related to my character but not really towards the 'development' side. 

The third notepad I would like to use to list certain (RP) goals that I would like to hit and ways to achieve them. I know, it's kinda lame but I want to be organized in my thoughts. Yes, I could just save it in a document but it's faster and more convenient to see it in SL.  >.>

There's really no need for it. As far as I know you're the only one who really uses those features much at all.

I still keep Rares' comment on my RP saved on a notepad for when I need an ego boost, and have archived messages from the few times I received "top secret" PM information, or just stuff I wanted to save.

The features are pretty handy when you don't wanna manage it off-site.

Anything you can think of I can't think of, let me know; that's how the sharing circle works.

That's because I'm the only who has just admitted to it.
Who knows how many others have used the notepad feature? >.>

I use all those features also.

The biggest feature I asked for was a mobile version of it because I got tired of pinch zooming on my smartphone, but I think Neji stopped developing with that.

I use the features as well just not to where I need more space with it. :P

I'm sure he could increase the character limit on the notepads or just copy the code to make another...

I've yet to bother with it, mainly cause I'd forget I put anything there.

If its general info I make a notepad on my desktop and copy-paste it there. If its something SL related I should remember, I just send a PM to myself and title it appropriately.

Oh, that's a good point.
If you use the mobile version ('display skin') of the site, it's better though.
Have you tried it?

It's not about space, but organization.
Although I am curious to what the character limit is for the notepad. o.o

The archives lets you sort the folders into several categories that you can name. The self-pm like Warren mentioned can then serve to provide you pms with topic specific titles that you can then place in those archive folders.

Something that was mentioned elsewhere was the ability to forward messages from the archives, which would be useful for sharing stored info from these folders if you used them in that manner.

How do you name the categories? I don't see that option. o.o

No, that's like 2007 mobile. Like, if I still had my flip phone that would be amazing. But a smartphone skin would be amazing.

To name categories you go to ...

Preferences--> Mail archives--> and then this pulls up a window where there are seven text boxes that say  name of category 1 -7. type the name in ans click save. Then when you go to archives there is a check box next to each message. you can check the pm you wish to move then at the bottom of all, there is a window of places to move the message to that you can choose from.
