Guild Wars 2

Items do not count towards the limit; it’s strictly a coin limit.

There was a bug when the system first went live, but it was fixed afaik.

In any case, the limit doesn’t affect whether you get the mail, it only affects how much gold you can accept. If you aren’t getting the mail, then either your mailbox is full or he’s not sending it to you directly, maybe to someone with a similar name.

edit: apparently the original message was removed from this thread for whatever reasons. The OP was asking why they weren’t getting items from someone they identified as a friend. (One player was in the NA, one in EU.) OP said that items they sent made it to the other player, but not the other way around and wondered whether there was an item restriction, in addition to a currency restriction.
