Some players have a huge amount of very old in-game messages stored. Initially the plan was to delete all messages that are older than 30 days. This automatic deletion feature was never activated and over time many players started to use these messages to store additional items outside of their bank slots.

With Update 2.6 we now made every in-game message valid for 30 days starting from 1st of July 2011. After this time has run out, these messages will sent back to sender where you will have an additional 30 days to store those mails until they are automatically deleted. Please make sure you remove all items from such messages before the 30 days run out or the attached items will be lost.

After 30 days, messages will be sent back to sender. The following 30 days from that point on, messages will be deleted automatically. This will also be valid for any new in-game message you receive. Please pay attention to your message in-box and make sure you remove attached items on time.
