If anyone is questing and needs their mail while the mail server is down, check with Jerol on the Isle of Mara. He is still working and was able to give me several pieces of mail to let me continue my adventures.
Jerol gave me the key to start BoL crafting, however, I'm stuck waiting for mail to finish The Schrivners Tale's in Chaos Descending. He didn't have that mail.
That's exactly where I had gotten stuck and the reason I decided to post this when I realized he gave the mail to us. That Schrivinier Tale had to be told.
A very good reminder for all! Jerol is there, in The Village of Shin, for all sorts of quest updates and quest starters that would have otherwise been delivered through in-game mail. ~ Kaitheel
