in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Just what the title says and I have relogged and relaunched the game and almost all my characters on my STO account of all factions have the in game mail icon on their in game ui flashing even if they have no mail. Anybody else have this problem? I didn't have this before the maintenance only after the servers came back up did I start having this. I even turned off the interface audio in the options menu because the you have mail sound effect has gotten annoying might turn it back on, but seriously this will drive me crazy if it isn't fixed. :#

    Also a clarification on my characters having no mail and the mail icons still flashing: I mean that my characters have no new unread mail when it does that.

    Good to know it's not just me. I kind of figured it was a bug of some sort. Hopefully they fix it's not really major, but man is it annoying. :D

    I've had this happen to me over the years with no new unread mail waiting.
    The solution I've found that usually works is to open the mail interface and then leave it on screen for a few seconds until the indicator stops flashing. Usually now more then a few seconds, but I've never had it not stop flashing...

    It's not doing it anymore since this morning and yesterday I sent some in game mail from one character to another. I don't know...weird. Whatever at least it's not doing it anymore.

    Click the mail icon. Click compose then x to close it. The flashing should then cease. There's been issues with the in game mail system for years. But what I described with cure your issue.

    Still flashing for me after trying all suggested solutions. I hope they fix this bug.

    Update: If you have this problem goto compose and send a test message to your character. I put test in subject and in message area. Once the message was received, I deleted it and the blinking cleared. Hope this helps.
