how long does e-mail take?

[Wiitime]

I added my e-mail address to the wii, and i got the e-mail saying asking to accept it. I did, and thats it. The wii hasent gotten an e-mail and the name still isnt highlighted.... Anybody know why? DOes it a take a long time? Its been a few hours... Thanks

Took mine days and still nothing, i just erased my email address from my address book cause it wasnt worth the wait

 

[Wiitime]

i wonder why, maybe b/c its not wii to wii??

 

[Wiitime]

i also tried replying to the invitataion e-mails a couple of times. but that didnt work either..

Mine only took a few minutes? Hmm. Sometimes it takes like 30 minutes for me to recieve messages from other wiis though.

 

[Wiitime]

hmmmmm.. maybe b/c the servers r packed. so the time is differnt each time u send.recieve e-mails from wii to wii and maybe if u use other e-mails like aol, msn, etc... it works sometimes.?? i have no idea lol

They should get more servers running for Wii email if it takes that long. I dont think it would hurt Nintendo too much

 

[unluckylink13]

I agree. Maybe after sales have improved even more than they are now, they will improve the sytem.

 

[Redan499]

yeah, same thing happened to a Free MMO i played, Silkroad Online, took them a while to get new servers up

 

[Wiitime]

i think the system is great...what improvements do u think?

What is email on the Wii like? Does Nintendo provide you with a new email address? Can someone show me an example of a Wii Email address please.

The address is this format:

w[your console number]@wii.com

people must be on your Wii address book to send and recieve emails. You cannot send photos to non Wii users but they can send you photos.

 

[unluckylink13]

Basically it's a kind of lame e-mail address. For example, [email protected].

It's your friend code with a "w" following behind it @wii.com.

Not the best. I personally would have liked the option to have a username like XBox (I don't have an XBox, though). It's alright, though. Most people I'm assuming won't use their Wii for emailing.

 

[PersianCowboy]

Oh that is pretty lame. How does someone go around remembering that so they can email their buddy through the Wii? That kind of sucks. Oh well, better then no email.

 

[wii man]

im HOPING it will speed up, if not nintendo, fix it!
