Getting Started: Mail

SharpMUSH has a built-in mail system that lets you send messages to players, even if they aren’t online. You can keep mail you receive for as long as you like, and re-read it any time.

To list all the messages you’ve received, type ‘@mail’. You’ll see something like:

------------------------- MAIL (folder 0) ----------------------------
[-----] 0:1 One Welcome! Wed Dec 08 09:57
[-----] 0:2 *Mike Example Mail Sat Dec 11 07:55
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The number after the ’:’ is the message number; to read that message, type ‘@mail <number>’.

To send mail to someone, type:
@mail <recipients>=[<subject>/]<message>

You can send a message to more than one person at a time, just include the names of all the people you want to send to in <recipients>. The <subject> is optional. For example:

@mail qa'toq anne=Test/Hi! This is a test message!

You can do other, slightly more complex things with the mail system, too, like filing your messages into different folders. See @mail for more information.
