Where's all my mail? Only a fraction of what I had before is still there. Can I have it back please? If I haven't deleted them, then there's a reason,

All my mail prior to 5/30/2013 (30.05.2013) is gone... :mad:

"I condemn false prophets, the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all."
I just logged in and tried to retrieve a stored BOFF for training (I have several for that purpose, as I imagine most players do), only to find that every mail I had containing stored BOFFs has vanished without trace. Other items are also missing.
If this has been done intentionally, I received no warning of any imminent deletion and I am very annoyed to potentially lose hours of effort and considerable in-game expense. I may not follow the forums diligently, but I think it is incumbent on Cryptic to adequately forewarn players if they intend to delete their valued items. I hope it is a bug and will be resolved.
UPDATE - It seems there are other threads dealing with this issue. My apologies. Please delete.
I have mail from within the last 24 hours, but several of my old mails (especially those with attachments) are now gone!
*Some* old mail is still there, but a lot is missing.
Same here. The valuable items can slowly be replaced, but I kinda needed the old fleet mails v.v

*turns pale* it seems i lost ~80 million in doffs and BO's (and some equipment too), everything before may 23 2013 is lost.
Dear Cryptic, please ANNOUNCE such changes in the future IN ADVANCE!
Beta, LTA, CE, Multiple preorder Versions, all Addon Packs except AoY, nearly all KDF/Rom and ~50% of all Fedships, over 25 LockboxShips, Endurer of Atari's "Year of Hell", but...
5 antimag regulators
thousands of assorted other consoles
thousands of boffs and doffs
If anyone have seen them, send me a note
5 Mag Regulators... thats a challenge to store!
Thousands of consoles seems a bit excessive, Doff's are of course understandable. But Ive known the risk day 1 using a mail system to store items and I would hope anyone else would have.
Same issue here, today i sent 2 or 3 mails, but i still have yesterday's mail, but all old mails with probably hundreds of stuff, duty officers etc... are gone.
To be specific: ANY MAIL WITH ATTACHEMENT IS GONE.
Thank you Cryptic. This an awesome job from your part.:mad:
But since LoR you give me less and less reasons to play your game.
I'm missing all of my old mail, everything from before July 11th. Like a lot of people, I had tons of boffs and equipment in there, easily several million EC worth of stuff. Fix this.
We're investigating this now. Once I have more information to provide, I will pass it along here.
Please also post the most recent date you have mail from if you are experiencing this issue.
Cheers,

Hello Brandon,
I have mail dating back from Januari 6th 2012 till May 31th 2013, however(!) I have lost all the mail containing items I send to myself which include thousands of lockboxes, doffs, and various valuable items. Also, it seems I still have some mail left from the exchange, informing me the sales have expired however the items are mostly missing.
Furthermore, all fleet-wide mails are gone. Also, my inbox icon in the mini-map menu keeps flashing.
I hope you guys fix this petit crisis! My thanks for all your efforts in advance
The mail isn't intended as a means for storage, especially long term, so if you lost items that have been in there for over a month, you have only yourself to blame.
The storing of Doffs were filling up their databases....
We have no other way to store doffs we want to use for Fleet Base fuel..
We need doffs for fleet base fuel because of a Star Base design....
We used the mail box to store the doffs we were planning to use for our Star Bases....
Seeing a pattern emerge?
Doffs weren't meant to be used in this fashion when originally designed for the game. Therefore there was no large storage capacity plans already put into place. Some projects require hundreds of doffs, something one toon cannot store.
1. Give us a place to store doffs so we can get them out of the mail box. Possibly an account doff shared storage with a capacity of roughly one thousand.
2. Remove the need from doffs from the Starbase, we'd start getting rid of them.
All messages pre-LOR have been deleted except for Expired Exchange Sales. I've been a member since Feb. 2012 so I have lots of mail missing, even mail with text only to other members.

I must have missed a rule or something. This never has been an issue before. I, and those with me, are not to blame.

Missing many items in there as well!
I've also got the mail icon keep flashing despite deleting what little mail is in the mailbox.
I have tried accessing from the mail icon next to the mini map and by the mail console at ESD.
My ticket ID is #1,807,922.
Sales expired with a 1/1/2013 dating.
The most recent is today but everything between 2012-06-27 and 2013-06-08 is gone.
