Mail access being considered for mobile app
In a recent forums thread, European CM Vaneras confirmed that in-game mail access is being considered for the armory mobile app. It is of course far from being confirmed -- but still, in theory, if it were implemented, it could be handy, allowing people on the go to transfer items between bank alts, manage consumable distribution between characters and more. Vaneras also said that Blizzard is always researching new potential additions to their web and mobile services as well, which actually piques my interest even more. I'd personally love to see guild chat and in-game chat channels added to the mobile and web services. If I could use a messenger program to stay hooked in to my guild and my friends list even when I'm not playing, I'd be willing to throw a few extra bucks a month Blizzard's way.
Blizzard sends in-game mail explaining today's problems
Blizzard has sent an in-game mail to everyone explaining what went wrong with the mail system, and what will be happening to fix it.In other news, the world blew up from all the irony. The mice have quickly begun repairing the world, and hope to have a new one constructed shortly.Basically the mail is outlining what Zarhym told us all earlier: that they will be reimbursing the items and gold lost during today's in-game mail failure, or mailure as I've started to call it tonight.Full text of the in-game mail after the break, or you can just look at a large screenshot of the message.
In-game mail to be reimbursed
Zarhym announced a short time ago that all mail items lost today will be reimbursed. The reimbursement of the in-game mail will happen in two steps: All items in the mail system will be sent to characters in one or more mail messages. Gold from the AH or sent through the mail will be sent in a separate message. This applies to all mail sent within the last 15 days. We can infer that only mail sent in the last 15 days has been affected. Do not contact a game master (GM) about this, and do not call customer support. The reimbursement will happen automatically.Since the forums are down, you can read the full text of Zarhym's announcement after the break.Are you ready for the challenges that await you in Northrend?

The realms were briefly up this afternoon. Anyone who logged into them was greeted with everything working smoothly – except for their mailbox.Many people found that they did not have the mail that was previously stored in their mailbox prior to the reset.This is, of course, a big deal for bank alts and others who send tens of thousands of gold through the system.
