    What steps will reproduce the problem?
    1.  Guild has about 300 members.
    2.  Mail reaches an in-game limit but it does not show what that limit it.
    3.  After limit is reached no additional mail can be sent.
    4.  Seems to be a problem recognizing some of the guild names - i checked for typos - and would only accept one rank at a time

    What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
    A counter would be nice.

    What version of the product are you using?
    June 28 2011 version.

    Do you have an error log of what happened?

    Please provide any additional information below.

    The problem is that the WoW client limits the number of e-mails you can send, you see. And there's no throttle or anything. The only way you can send MORE than 30 mails is if someone OPENS the mail they got from you. Then you can send one more.

    Basically, you can only have 30 new (unread) e-mails out at the same time.

    Isn't that wonderful?

    I'm not sure how to fix this, so I didn't. But I knew about it when I made the addon. My own guild is/was only 20 people so it was fine for me.

    One possible solution is to just check every time you visit a mailbox. Try to send one, and see if it works or not. But that's a crappy solution, don't you think? Options?
