Ahoy-hoy Mods,
Since last year we’ve had a renewed focus on making improvements to moderation, centered around three themes.
Since our last round of improvements to Modmail[14] we’ve been busy working on additional improvements, and today we’re excited to bring you one more: New Message Indicators[15]!

It��s quite simple, really. Now whenever you’re viewing a message in new Modmail, you’ll be notified when a new message pops up in that Modmail chain.

This is all part of the work we’re doing to respond to your feedback/requests and our larger goal to make new Modmail more user-friendly, and easier to understand and navigate. Next up for modmail, we’re working on **mod-only** Typing Indicators (coming soon!) so you know who on your mod team may already be composing a response and improvements to the mobile Modmail experience. Typing indicators will not be visible to your community members and you will not be able to see if community members are typing.
As a reminder (and when we first shared in this post[16]), we’ll be deprecating legacy modmail and saying hasta la vista[17] to it this June 2021. When this happens, we will automatically transition all remaining subreddits to new modmail and replace legacy modmail entry points with mod.reddit.com entry points. Links to legacy modmail threads will become read-only for at least the first 30 days -- this means mods (and users) will no longer be able to respond to legacy modmail messages.

Over the coming weeks we’ll continue to reach out directly to legacy modmail users to provide additional reminders, but please begin to prepare for this migration if it’s going to affect your mod team. If you have bots or other integration, you should migrate before the start of June to ensure there is no disruption for your team and community.
Questions? Concerns? Feedback? Please let us know in the comments where we’ll be kicking back and hanging out for a little while.

Any chance we can get modmail messages out of our regular inbox? No real reason to have it there and makes it really difficult to find older messages.

What will happen to the old modmails? I'm specifically thinking of ones that were sent prior to new modmail (or modmail beta) existed.
The read-only status for these old messages sounds temporary. Will they be imported into new modmail, or deleted?

This is the single greatest feature update this year! It's absolutely fantastic and has already saved me from a few double taps.
It's smooth and it works. Thank you!

Is there any way to download or preserve all our legacy modmail messages?
I don't want to lose all that data

Dumb question but since you're deprecating oldmail for numail and oldmail was technically a hacky extension of DMs, are there any plans to port PMs to the numail style interface? I'd kill for my DMs to look like/function like email with search/archiving messages included since my inbox regularly explodes and I NEED to be able to see/reply to everyone. Having multiple entries from the same series of messages just takes up extra space and decreases the amount of unique message threads I can load due to the 1000 item limit, so I have to rely on a third party extension for that right now and it's interface is still janky at best and hasn't been updated in 5 years. In fact, the only way you can use it anymore is if you manually unpack an ancient copy of it yourself since it's no longer on the store.

It is possible to have it refresh all the time? Kinda like how chat works?
I know you have to code it extra. It may be too much. But it will be more convenient than clicking a button.

That white background looks terrible when I go from black reddit UI to mod UI, and it hurts my eyes.

How soon until we get Spam controls? I've got 15+ reports that would have been dealt with if /r/spam were still around. They're still active.
