SUGGESTION! "Accept All" feature for mail AND changes to the mail expiration systems

Greetings once again, overseers! I've seen several complaints over the past several years about accepting goods through the mail, as well as products being deleted as a result of expired mail. I believe both issues need to be addressed to not only save time for players, especially those who are purchasing massive amounts of energy through the market, but also to not penalize players who have done nothing wrong except not logging in.

There was an incident around 1.5 years ago where a well-known player, Pink Tigress, lost several hundred to thousands of dollars worth of product as a result of mail being outright deleted after the 30 day expiration period. Instead of deletion, it seems more logical to either outright distribute product into the account after the time has elapsed OR remove the expiration period entirely. I'm sure there are reasons you have the system created in this manner so an explanation would be great so that we, the players, can better understand the logic behind it all.

The other issue is with extreme amounts of energy mail. An accept-all feature seems entirely harmless and would help greatly with massive energy purchases. Having to manually accept 100 energy bundles for 100,000+ energy is not a fun activity. Even smaller amounts are tedious and seems mostly unnecessary. My suggestion is either this accept-all feature or reverting the energy system, at least, to how it was in the past where energy or crowns would be directly injected into your account after energy market transactions.

There is probably some middle ground between my suggestions and what your ideal systems are for these scenarios but I thought it was worth bringing up since there have been many complaints about both of these issues for a very long time now. Since we're currently in the era of quality-of-life updates, this seems like as good of a time as any to make changes.

Please consider these suggestions so that we may make Spiral Knights great again.

It doesn't seem like a consumer friendly process, and these days, with life being as wild as it is, it would be nice to have the assurance that the things we earn in our leisure time faithfully spent in SK would be preserved. I don't see why items sent to a player by whatever means can't be banked, even if the original mail had to be cleared.

It's always a huge problem when you have to click hundreds of energy depot or auction mails, one taking about 1s (two clicks in different places), so you click like a robot for minutes and then there is one different mail between them from a fellow knight. You easily accidentally delete it and there is no trash bin or undo in SK. You may not even know from whom it was or maybe you didn't even notice it at all. I had a few shock moments when I almost deleted a mail from someone who just sent me crowns out of the blue and expected something in return. I was milliseconds away from accidentally scamming them. Sure, I try to scan through the list before I start clicking, but with a scrollbar reduced to a tiny dot, where 1 pixel movement scrolls past 30 mails, even that doesn't ensure you don't miss one. Would be nice to at least have them auto-grouped with an action per group, like "Accept+delete all energy depot mails" and "Accept+delete all auction mails". That would just leave the ones that require more attention.
