Just curious, Are newly created accounts' email function disabled for a preset time?
(probably to hinder spammers understandably)

I tried to send email to my friend who just setup new STO Silver account, and i could not send email to him (and vice versa) !

Pls advise after how many days will this last, so that i can email my friend?

    I think you have to play the game for 20 hours, buy something from the C-Store or buy C-Points before the limits are removed, not sure though. Former gold players have limits removed straight away I think

    Probably available after 20 hours of play, spending some money in the C-store, or something similar. I'd bet its the same restrictions on when Silvers are able to help create fleets.

    Regarding in-game chat:
    Rate limited, broadcast chat restricted, private messages only to friends. Limits go away when any of the following is met: 20 hours of aggregate play across all characters, account has ever had a subscription, account carries a Cryptic Points balance, account has made a C-Store purchase.

    Regarding in-game mail:
    Rate limited, can only send to friends. Limits go away when any of the following is met: 20 hours of aggregate play across all characters, account has ever had a subscription, account carries a Cryptic Points balance, account has made a C-Store purchase.

    My geuss is that the guys above are right. You need to "befreind" your freind, and then send it to him or wait till he has played a few hours... My suggestion: Give him a 6-pack of Red Bull... cheaper than the C-Store.
