Mail practical usage guide#

Mail adds persistent clan mail/messages with send/read/unread state, GUI, storage and placeholders. This guide focuses on the actual administrator and player workflow: what to set up first, how to test it in-game, and what to check before enabling it for everyone.

How the feature works#

In normal use, the feature follows this flow: Send a test clan mail using the configured command/GUI. Open the mailbox, read the message and verify unread state changes. Use clear/delete management according to your retention policy.

  1. Send a test clan mail using the configured command/GUI.
  2. Open the mailbox, read the message and verify unread state changes.
  3. Use clear/delete management according to your retention policy.

Administrator setup checklist#

  • Configure mailbox limits/expiry and storage before production.

Configuration areas#

  • Config — date_format_short, Mail, Icon, Permissions, logger
  • Storage — type, mysql, user, pass, databases, datasource

Changing settings safely#

  1. Back up the component configuration and persistent data before changing a live server.
  2. Change one feature area at a time.
  3. Reload only if the component documents reload as safe; otherwise restart the server.
  4. Test with a non-OP account that has exactly the intended clan role/permission.
  5. Watch the console from the first relevant warning/error, not only the final stack trace.
  6. On multiserver networks, repeat the check on every node and confirm shared storage/sync settings match.
