New Poll: We have an inbox, can we send messages to guildmates?

Here's a collection of opinions I see on a regular basis and I think a large majority of gamers feel there's a certain level of communication that would allow us to cut down on a lot of unnecessary threading and forums use, 3rd party chat apps, and bring a heightened experience to in-game use.
Suggestions
**We have an inbox, can we apply a mechanic that allows us to use it as a mailing service within the game. Perhaps with guildmates or allies to start and test load on game function.
Intent
Cut down on miscommunication within guilds on rules, times, requirements, changes, etc
Cut down on requirement of 3rd party chat apps for the player base that is limited to media services, wifi, data, mobile coverage, etc
Provide a more seamless gaming experience and increased morale within each guilds specific structure.
Feedback
I look forward to any and all feedback but I do not condone the use of belligerent feedback and will not respond to any. I'd prefer this stay legitimate and not be a shouting match amongst players. I have provided answers that will allow you to state your vote as an opinion if you can't seem to find something nice to say to one another.

I've been apart of each type of guild from a new one I helped create, to a 30K a day 600/600 req.
I have experienced forum only guilds with in-game only chats (This was a huge struggle for me as pertinent information is lost in the rolling delete and overly expressive members)
I have been on KIK as well as Line and think both of those apps are consistent with high school text messaging with little annoying stickers and other things I dislike.
I prefer Discord, easy, clean, organized but also value the use of in-game messaging to aid in officer/leadership duties and see this as the most valuable way to prompt any and all users that aren't keen on 3rd party apps, even if the rest of the guild enjoys it. Reason being, there is more growth to be had and help to be the given on this type of platform.
I vote yes because I'd like to see more direction, involvement, and relationships developed both within, and even outside my guild.
I agree, anything global would be a devastating load on the game.
I love your outlook on friendship and community. I wholeheartedly agree with this, even as a preferred Discord user, I see the value in the in-game messaging system.
I recommend looking for your arena mates through the use of forums, then build a community on Discord or Line. We have about 20 guys on mine from Australia to PST and we have a ball in there. We poke fun but also discuss our weaknesses. It's an enjoyable experience if you just allow the players to climb freely during their hour. Sending hate mail in-game would be a ban hammer if reported. So... I don't recommend it if we do get messaging in the game.
The intent of messaging is not to be used for negative purposes.
Appreciate the feedback, all valid points.
