Auction House Mail should be default to "Accept" when the mail expires after 30 days

When you win an auction and receive a mail from Auction House, if you do not press the "Accept and Delete" button within 30 days, the mail will be deleted along with your item, and you would not be refunded.
This is insane. You paid for the item; why should the item be deleted? For mail between players, if the mail is not accepted the item will be returned to the sender. For auction house the sensible default action should be to accept it, not throw your crowns and item away.
Please fix this!

Computer kaput. Illness. Family issues. Getting grounded. Losing internet access. Studying for midterms/finals. Being dragged off for vacation by parents (supposedly kids play this y'know /sarcasm)
You know, real life stuff.
(The first one immediately sprang to mind as a couple of my friends have not logged in for over a month because their family PC bit the dust.)

You forgot some of the things that could happen.
If it is in cursive, it is Oneerrantwitch's stuff. But he/she/it forgot somethings.
Computer kaput. Illness. Family issues. Getting grounded. Losing internet access. Studying for midterms/finals. Being dragged off for vacation by parents. Dying. Being abducted by Gremlins. Having your computer being abducted by Devil-ITs(which, IMO, is much worse than the previous one). The world blows up. You wake up and find yourself in rainbow pony land. (read: dead) You wake up and realize you are on fire(read: also dying, but a little different outcome).
lol, yes this is a very bad thing. Imagine you go, "Oh, a nice shiny Summer Aura. I'm taking a month long vacation soon, but I may as well bid anyway. I probably will get outbid, but maybe I won't." Then after that vacation, he comes back, and says, "Yep, I didn't get it. I wonder who did." In reality, NO ONE GOT IT PERIOD. The game swallowed it up. Yep, he won, but the message was deleted so he doesn't get it.
TL;DR: plus 100.

Processing Thoughts of You Always
Plus one
sometimes shiz happens
like your family deciding they need to appropriate your laptop
because the home pc got infected by trojans
and then not getting it fixed until your brother comes back a month later
I hate Trojans.

Yes please. Sometimes I have
Yes please. Sometimes I have 100-200 auctions going at once and it's a royal pain to open and accept/delete them each individually.
At the very least, an "accept & delete all" button.

I don't even know why you
I don't even know why you have to go through email to accept them in the first place. A notification stating it has automatically been added to your inventory would be nice.

This needs to be done, and shouldn't be too much work.

There is nothing wrong with my urges to visit Moscow after placing large bids on the auction house! Why must I suffer?

Why
Why does stuff bought from the auction house go to mail? Does anyone not accept the things that they won?

/sigh
I am so dissapointed nobody got this yet. >.>
The reason its not "auto accept" is because. If somebody accidentally bidded on an item, or has no need for it anymore they can just let it sit there and it will be deleted.
You may say, you can always resell it!
Yes, but what if it was a 1* item?
Why would somebod be in the 1* section of the AH?
Because they might be searching for a costume.

@Isekuube
Even so, what sane individual would just toss away crowns like that? At the very least they could sell it to a vendor in the bazaar.

Derp
I think it should just totally bypass the mail and go straight to your inventory with a notice popping up, saying you won, or that your crowns were refunded. That way, everyone is happy, except for the people who are not happy. Because they just aren't happy.
I think, that, I use, too many, commas.
"Herp derp, I will bid on this derpbillion crown item off auction then go to Russia for a month."
