I'd like to recommend a new power - maybe called "archive" - that would
allow that specific player to be immune from mail expiration without having
to set each message safe.

On Fri Aug 25 16:05:19 2006, Ashen-Shugar added:

Only if you can put a cap on the maximum number of messages a person can
receive, because most likely anyone set with this will never delete mail.

Seems reasonable, but instead of 'archive', let's think of something else.
That name seems overused. How about 'librarian' or 'nomailexp'?

As an alternative, '@amail me = @mail/safe [mail()]' works to set all
incoming mail safe (as long as you're in the main mail folder. This what I
recommend my staff use to avoid mail expiration.

So, if you're going to add such a power, safemail might be a good name.

On Fri Aug 25 16:14:39 2006, Brazil added:

Dare I suggest four new configuration options...two for warning that @mail
size for a player is larger than X (one for safemail and one for safemail),
and likewise two configuration options for absolute maximum sizes beyond
which new @mail is not accepted?

On Fri Aug 25 16:20:21 2006, Draken-Korin added:

mailsize_warn, mailsize_safe_warn, mailsize_max, mailsize_safe_max? It'd be
a good idea. Does that mean there would be another power in addition to
safemail, like unlimmail, to bypass mail size limits?

You like seeing how far you can push Ash, don'cha, DK? :)

laugh Actually, the naming convention already matches what's in Rhost. We
have mailsize_max, and @smailsize (attribute to specify maximum messages
you can mark 'safe'), but no warnings per say when someone approaches max
mail. That's actually a good idea and I may borrow for Rhost. We call the
deleting of mail 'autoexpiring' so you can probably call the disabling of
this 'noexpire' if you want as a flag. In Rhost, we use a 'mailtime'
attribute so you can specify exactly how long before mail is expired
individually per player. Up to you how you want things done, Brazil. :)
