Thanks for the report!

We passed this on to and he is going to be restoring some sMails from a database backup we have. So, the bad news is that this may take a day or two, since it is a massive amount of data transfer. The good news is that the sMails are not lost forever since we have that backup!

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused D:

Hey everyone, just checking back in. I've attempted to merge the old mails back onto the site.. a number of times now and have been unsuccessful.

Unfortunately, sMail is now the oldest system remaining on the site and the way that mails are stored is... really bad. Each mail and reply are an entirely new row in the database (instead of being "threaded" in the way most systems are now) and that means that the table itself is almost 50GB. Inserting years of data back into it has crashed the database (and the site) at each attempt.

I'll look into the possibility of getting them as text downloads on the site, but at this point I've put a lot of time into getting them onto the site and it's been unsuccessful, and it's about time to call it :(
