A Lodestone Feature I would like to see

It may of been mentioned before, but I would like to be able to check and send in game mail from the lodestone profile, if it were possible. I know you wouldn't be able to take items, but it would be handy to communicate with FC members when you are away from gaming rig.

You can't mail people who are not on your friend list so I don't think that would be an issue.

Why does every new feature have to be dependent on whether or not RMT can use it against us?
I actually would love to see this. We had a similar ability to send messages in XI, though it was through the Play Online client system. Even so, you were still able to see the message in game or in the POL client.

Here's a better idea: Use real email, write on a forum, use Facebook or any of 100 other methods of communication that don't involve somehow connecting in game mail to Lodestone.

That's all well and good if you know the other person's email or social media account. But sometimes we don't, and sometimes we have the need to contact someone in game. (for example, cant make the time for your static, but all you have is your cellphone on you, quickly log into lodestone, fire off a msg, and now your static knows to grab another person instead of waiting for you)

You do need to think of how features can be abused so that you can work to avoid that abuse of the system.

I've been wanting this for quite a while, though rather than just on the Lodestone itself, I'd want it to also be integrated into the "Libra Eorzea" app, since you can already log in on it as well....

As for RMT issues, you already can't send mail to people who aren't on your friend's list, so that wouldn't be an issue.....

The ONLY problem I can really see with this is mail containing items, but they could simply set it to leave such mail as being "marked unread" unless you view it through the game itself, even if you've replied to the text portion of it. If it was linked to the Libra Eorzea app as well, then we could click on the items within the mail to see their entry in the database....
