EVE Mail, occasionally referenced as "evemail", is a tool part of the Neocom. Pilots can send and receive EVE mail to and from other pilots to communicate in-game. Certain game events will also place mail in your inbox, such as the insurance payout on the loss of a ship, the need to refuel a POS, etc.
Composing a message
You can compose a new EVE Mail message by clicking the 'Compose' button which is directly below the 'EVE Mail' tab. From this window, you can choose recipients, a subject line, add labels, and use basic formatting and style tools.
Auto linking
- Main article: Auto linking
Auto linking allows user-typed text to be turned into a link to a character, corporation, solar system, constellation, region, station, item, or a chat channel. Through drag and dropping certain items or by right-clicking on text communication can be linked. Any text that is highlighted orange in communication is a link.
Text Formatting
- See also: Overview manipulation#Format and style
Simple HTML code can be used to format and style your communication. In addition to formatting available by using the UI buttons, you can use HTML to add additional colors and symbols to your text.
Mail & Communications Settings
The Mail & Communications Settings window is found by clicking the 'hamburger' settings icon in the EVE Mail window. From here you can set rules for incoming messages and customize the user interface further.
CONCORD Spam Prevention Act
A 'CSPA charge' is an amount of ISK which can be levied on communications such as conversations and mail, acting as a deterrent to spam. CSPA is managed via the EVE Mail settings. As of the Scylla the charge defaults to 0 for new pilots. Many groups such as the EVE University Incursion Community require pilots to prevent members from spending excess risk. The current maximum charge is one million isk though CCP can set custom amounts for certain actions such as sending corp mails in NPC corporations.
Only non-blocked characters in your contact list or those in your corporation can message you without a fee.
