Nice work 
does a player end up in the database if he was online once after installing the plugin and can he then also be reached offline? 
Hello first, that's a nice idea that we really need!
However, I still have 1 or 2 suggestions that I would really like to see
A player list to choose from and information that/when you have a new email, it wouldn't be a bad idea if you could add a read and then the entry is only faintly visible
Because of the list, I know that there isn't one from Red yet, but I do have a variant that at least works, which could then appear as a pop-up when you click on the "to:".
I also found a fairly simple option to display the offline players and even an admin check from the config file for offline players.
When logging in, checking for new emails wouldn't be a problem. During the course of the game you could do a check using the downtimed "UpdateEvent".
I had already toyed with the idea of doing it myself, but for me that would mean double the effort and it's enough if there's a good tool for it.
For this reason, I am offering you my cooperation in this project and I would be happy if we could make this a great email.
As you say there isnt a scroll pre-built.
However, if you outputted names to a short list and used a buffer you could create a scrolling UI yourself.
Search for "Gap Buffer" on Google.
Got this error just today. I ran the program easily last week but did not send any emails, just accessed the menus. The database is written but it does not have tables.
Try restarting the server?
I did several times. I also re-downloaded it and reloaded it. It is not creating the tables correctly You are using the getWorld because the database is showing up as the servername. As long as it is called correctly this should not be a problem but there are several database plugins with that same name not including the world database. Not sure what changed other than I have a added a personal plugin but the database is not the same name.
Ok I will supplement in your text announcement that just says /Mail,, Thanks
So I went back to an older back up of my server when I first installed the mail program. It had a correctly populated database. So I installed the entire directory back on my server. It works properly with /Mail Box and /Mail Playerlist. If you type /Mail without a second split.command argument (/Mail alone) it does not catch it and gives you that array error. So it is, just an annoyance.
Not sure why the newly installed jar would not build the database. I guess if you find the original public build files, you could add a pre-if catch such as; if (splitCommand.length==1){ which would skip to a return or informative error message if the command line did not contain a second split command argument.
What would be a nice upgrade for the future would be to set up a mail box for each player upon arrival on the server so you could auto send them a welcome mail message. Just a thought. Thanks for doing this as I think it is important for players to communicate with each other even if they are offline.
