Mail · Cobblemon PBG

Mail is the server's inbox system. Open it with /mail to claim everything sent your way — leaderboard prizes, hunt rewards, trivia winnings, event drops, and Pokémon or items sent directly by other players. Mail is the default delivery channel for almost every server-side reward on PBG.

Opening your inbox

/mail — open the inbox GUI
A subtle chat ping fires on login when you have unread mail waiting

The inbox is a 6-row GUI with Compose, Filter, Sort, Search, and a Bulk toggle along the top row. Each message shows the sender, subject, an unread marker, and a 📦 icon if there's a package attached.

Mail limits

Setting	Value
Inbox capacity	100 mails
Default expiry	30 days from delivery
Daily send cap (per player)	100 mails / day
Max recipients per single send	50
Send cost	Free today

When the inbox fills past 80%, you'll see a capacity warning. Mails that expire are removed automatically; the cleanup task runs once an hour.

What lands in mail

Most of the server's automated reward systems deliver through mail rather than dropping items in your inventory:

Leaderboards — daily, weekly, and monthly podium prizes
Hunts — global hunt rewards when the server completes one
Trivia — point-tier rewards after a trivia round
Events — seasonal and one-off event prizes
Staff payouts — manual rewards for tournament winners, bug reports, etc.

Delivery via mail means you never lose a reward to a full inventory — items sit in the inbox until you have space to claim them.

Claiming a package

Open the mail, read the message, and click the package — items go into your inventory and Pokémon go into your party (or the PC if your party is full). If your inventory or PC is full, the package stays in mail until you make space; partial claims are supported (items that fit go in, the rest sticks around).

If your party is full when you try to claim Pokémon, the unfit Pokémon land in the locker — a holding area that holds them for 72 hours. Use /mail locker claim to grab them once you've made room.

Sending mail to another player

Anyone can send mail from the inbox GUI:

Open the compose screen

Click Compose Mail from the top row of the inbox.

Pick a recipient

Type the player's name in the prompt. You can send to one player or up to 50 at once.

Add a subject

Click the subject slot and type a short subject (up to 100 characters).

Attach items, Pokémon, or both

Drop items into the open slots in the compose grid. To send Pokémon, click the Pokemon attachment button — you can attach up to the configured cap per mail, picked from your party or PC. Untradeable Pokémon (event prizes, daily-gift starters, etc.) are blocked.

Send

Confirm the send. The mail lands in the recipient's inbox immediately.

Sending is free on PBG today — there's no per-send Pokédollar cost.

How mail differs from trades

Method	Direction	Cost	Reciprocal?
Mail	One-way	Free	No — you give freely
Chest Shops	Bidirectional	Pokédollars per transaction	Yes
GTS	Bidirectional	2% listing fee + 5% sale tax	Yes
Wonder Trade	Bidirectional	Free	Yes, but anonymous

Mail is the right call for gifts, splitting raid drops with friends, returning borrowed Pokémon, or any one-way transfer where you don't want money to change hands. For everything else, the trade systems above give you a paper trail and a price.
