Yep. I use it all the time, I can use it at work, like I am right now. Been using it for ages, back when it used to load faster than the in-game mail Lol

I just wish you could add URLs, tag items, players, etc like you can in game. Otherwise though, I like the fact I can access my mail from work and such. This is at least 1 part of Evegate that I find useful. Otherwise, it's a poor attempt at Evebook.

People were constantly telling me I was crazy. For a long time I didn't believe them, but after a while, I started to think they might be right.

But it turns out that they were all wrong. One of the voices in my head is a psychiatrist and he says I'm perfectly sane.

I'm glad you can't. I don't want to see your URLs, tag items, players etc. Twisted

I don't know why, but whenever I quote a mail in EVE gate lately, the quoted text is in a large colorful font, and when I try to send the mail I get an illegal HTML error. So I always have to delete the quoted passages.

It's so easy to use, it's a piece of cake sending a mail to the whole corporation.

(It's nearly ******* impossible)

Hate to say it, but that one (along with a whole host of other bugs with the mail interface and the total lack of compatibility with mobile browsers/non-JS browsers) have been bug reported since day one repeatedly. And always closed as by design.

I was _just told_ that the fix for this is going out soon, most likely this week. Not sure if it's going to be in tomorrow's patch or not yet.

I just thought people were being nice to my evemails. Making the text so large was easy for this old guy to read.

Buddy, you need to get a clue about your own products. As was stated above, this problem has been prominently and frequently reported since SpaceBook was released over a year ago.

I suggest that you do proper diligence in researching the reported bug in CCP's internal bug tracking database before asking your customers to generate duplicate reports on a 1+ year old issue.

You realize that this isn't a new issue. It's been around ever since EveGate was launched, and bug reports a-plenty have been filed already. This has been discussed on the old forum in quite some detail as well. It's just up to you guys to actually action the bug reports.

People were constantly telling me I was crazy. For a long time I didn't believe them, but after a while, I started to think they might be right.

But it turns out that they were all wrong. One of the voices in my head is a psychiatrist and he says I'm perfectly sane.

What doesn't work for you about sending mail to your corp? Just type 'corp' as the recipient and fire away.

I also agree that EVE Gate Mail is better. I can't copy and paste text into the in-game mail without losing all my line breaks since I'm on Mac and EVE only understands Windows line feeds. My other issue is typing more than a word or two in-game and having it jump to my chat window. I have to type my messages out of game or lose my mind.

Hey, while You're at it, can you look into improvingfunctionality for smartphone use? It's sovery resource heavy that my iPhone can barely use it. I'm struggling just to type this.

Also as a small side request, is there any consideration on ccp's end to allow skill queue modification through eve gate? Becausethat would be awsome. Sometimesfinding a computer with eve installed isn't possible, especially for those who travel a lot.

I second both of these request.

Also, I can't even log into Evegate with my iphone since the update. I log in, and takes me to the character authentication screen where I type my toon name. It follows up by telling me my toon entered was wrong, my account is expired or banned. And that's as far as I get. Same deal on all my accounts. I used to be able to use it before.

People were constantly telling me I was crazy. For a long time I didn't believe them, but after a while, I started to think they might be right.

But it turns out that they were all wrong. One of the voices in my head is a psychiatrist and he says I'm perfectly sane.
