Sounds sweet. This will allow for safe ingame and offline trading. Of course, the pixel for cash crowd are going to eat this up too.

Players can send and receive in-game mail though World of Warcraft's postal system. Every inn has a mailbox that players can right click in order to access mailbox functionality.

There are several types of mail:

Normal Mail: This is text only mail written on stationery. Normal mail may also include money.

Package: Players will receive a package when an item is sent to them. A package can also include a text message and money.

C.O.D: Players will receive a C.O.D. mail when an item has been sent to them that they still need to pay for. C.O.D. mail will need to be accepted and paid for, rejected or postponed until it's expiration date. Normal Mail will arrive at their destinations immediately while Packages and C.O.D items will take one hour to arrive.
Be sure to check mail regularly as it does expire after a certain period of time:

Normal mail: expires in 30 days, deleted when expired.
Package: expires in 30 days, returned to sender when expired.
C.O.D.: expires in 3 days, returned to sender when expired.
Mail can be sent to players by NPCs. Players on ignore lists will not be able to send mail to those ignoring them.

cooool. Not quite as cool as the consignment merchants in HZ, but still pretty cool!

Mail can be sent to players by NPCs

Neato!! A great way to put in new quests and such. Would really like to see some GM's create a quest starting with a mail delivery.

Mail from NPCs is awesome. That'll definitely be a neat quest delivery system, no pun intended.

On a side note, my wife got the Coolest Quest Beginning Ever last night - she was practicing Fishing, and fished up a message in a bottle that triggered a quest.
