Description
This is a fork of @cheapie's mail mod
It adds a mail-system that allows players to send each other messages in-game and via webmail (optional).
Use it with the /mail command or the provided button in the unified_inventory mod. You can either /mail <player> to compose quicker.
It is compatible with all 5.x Minetest versions (tests based on mtt).

1.4.0 - Overhauled UI & UX
Hey ! 👋
🎉 Finally, the 1.4.0 release is here !!
First, as the main maintainer, I'd like to apologize for the very long time it took. One year spent, and it is not very fruitful. But, I hope that it will be very stable.
Here is a list of main changes :
- 🔢 The messages IDs mess which caused a lot of problems is now fixed ! When you'll update, you'll need to wait a few minutes for the updating script (from
v3 to v3.1) inspects all the messages.
- 💐 A lot of UI components have been redesigned. Notably the color management (auto-mixed colors now), but also the message view and the about page ! And more is coming for the main view !
- ⚙️ Also settings have been redesigned, but with an auto-generating pages script. Now adding a new setting or a new category is very easy !
- 🚫 A very basic spam auto-detection has been implemented. In fact, it is a short-term solution, because folders will be implement in a near future. But the new muting list feature will be kept.
- ⌛ A time offset setting has been added, that you should manually set to adjust server time to your local time.
- 🐛 And as usual, some new fixes ! Considering the amount of changes, a new 1.4.1 will be probably released in few weeks.

Great for contacting offline people or sharing extended text
This mod, based on cheapie's, is even more useful than the original. My personal highlights are the inclusion of the outbox and the fact that you can now
/mail <username>and it actually opens the compose form to send that user a mail message.Mail is pretty much the ideal solution for letting players contact others who are offline, especially administrators and moderators. Of course it may not scale to a huge server, where the admin might end up with two dozen mail messages every time they log in, some of which may be obsolete. But it does work well overall for small to medium servers. With mail mod, you can leave signs on your properties that say things like "If there are any problems or requests, simply /mail Blockhead" and people can leave feedback that you are sure to receive.
For roleplay/realism, I would instead recommend - as an alternative or additional system - everamzah's mailbox mod (or the version in homedecor, if you like the art style and don't need things like post offices). You can send goods, including books, through mailbox, which may be preferable.
I wouldn't recommend /mail, or Minetest in general, as a secure means of communication. The server admin can read the contents of messages easily enough, even if it's not directly included as a mod feature, and the Minetest protocol is (at the time of review) not encrypted. For that purpose I would use an out-of-game system like Matrix, PGP-signed email and so on.
I like that mod the bast mailing system =)
