Mailroom not working

[SwampyElf]

So my mailrooms are not working at all it´s just clogging everything up no matter how many prisoners are working there. As you can clearly see my mailroom is clogged up. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/263835861930295735/7B99EE80A914CCD35F577C7AE3F21E576451D09F/

Have tried it several times without any luck.

Eh, check some of the existing threads about it. I believe a solution has been found for that, but I don't remember what it was.

Make guards sort the mail, they're WAY more efficient than prison labor. Just make the mail* room staff only.

Well they at least do something but they sort the mail but stop when they hit exactly 10x sorted mail and they never come back.

My advice is to dump all the mail satchels (the blue chests thingy). After a day or two the boxes should refesh and the mailing operation should continue.

The problem with your mail room is clearly that there are no satchels (the blue things) Satchels are required to deliver the mail. Honestly, I don't know why you haven't gotten any satchels, they should come automatically just like the mail.

It could be a problem where there isn't any room to put satchels. Instead of unzoning, try the clear indoor area tool, throw everything in the room away (this will throw the mail away too) and then start over.

That's becuase they don't always end-up in the mail room straight off. They sometimes often hang around the delivery area or even somewhere else if the guard gets distracted.

Thing is i don´t get satchels at all i used to get them in a couple of updates ago but now they aren´t coming. Clear indoor area is the tool i have used several times i have even tried putting in more tables and less sorting desks in with no avail. As you can see on the screenshot i have plenty of guards not doing anything and plenty of workmen so i don´t get it.

That´s like saying when your car breaks down just buy a new one and if you get the same problem you should buy another car. You´re not doing anything to help you are in fact just being a bit of troll here.
