  1. let users search for letters from the past.

    I wrote a letter in 2007 and have since forgotten my account number. I never received it, so I looked for it today. It was a pain having to go through the thousands of letters to find mine. and I gave up after 20 minutes of clicking "next, " "next, ", next...

    how about we type in words so we can find them faster?

  3. have an option for permanently hiding a sent message in the delivery outbox

    I think this would be great for registered users who use the site frequently. Hiding the message instead of seeing it for delivery would be more exciting and you're more apt to forget about writing it.

  4. Allow a sender to respond to their public letter once sent, so readers have updates!

    I've been reading public letters, some sent as far as 12 years to the future! Many asking questions - Have I learned to play the instrument? Did my daughter go to college? Am I still at my job? Ect.. I would love to know the answers!

  9. Keep the simple text forever, formatting would cheapen the idea!

    Go the way of Facebook, which everyone loves because there's no wacky colors or random awful backgrounds!

  10. Let Us Change The Date On Our Letters

    Some people (like me) accidentally entered the date for our letter either too late or too early. For me, I pressed the "Okay" button on accident so now, I have to wait till next year.

  11. Allow users to change the arrival date of their letters

    I've sent lots of letters and now I've ended up thinking that I either want to wait a longer or shorter amount of time on many of my letters :(

  12. Change the date of the letter of when we 'write' it. Like, backdating or something.

    I don't know if it sounds like an agreeable idea to all, but personally, I'd really like if we had the option to display a different date from the one we're actually writing on.
    For example, I recently introduced my grandmother to this website and she LOVED it! And there's this fond memory she has of me and my brother when we were 10 and 5 respectively. She said that she'd love to be able to backdate a letter, as in, send it from November 2002, into the future, than displaying today's current date.

    Could you guys please make this…

  13. Allow periodic reminders at set intervals.

    Setting a goal is great but tracking your progress is critical if you're ever going to achieve the goal.
    Allow the ability to set reminders (5 year goals could have a yearly reminder, 1 year goals could be monthly or quarterly).

    Allow users to update the status to track their progress.

  15. Change the Send Date

    If a future email is supposed to arrive on the day of a special occasion (such as a wedding) and the date is later changed, it would be nice to alter the date that the email is to be sent. The same 90 day restriction would apply.

  16. Retrieve letters sent before an account was made

    Do some scouting, and make it possible to retrieve letters that I sent before I made my account! Like, for example, if ABC makes a letter, THEN creates an account, he can't see the letter he sent and I feel really lost without it :( So if we signed up using ABC@gmail.com, then we should be able to have the letters sent to ABC@gmail.com. Please?

    As long as the first letter was confirmed, then it will be added to the new account with the same email.

    If the original letter was not confirmed, then indeed it might be lost…for now – but we are working on a feature to give you the option to merge in these older letters.

  17. Add an edit button and a re-send validation email

    Edit button so we can edit the letter ( I don't really care about mistakes if it's from yourself you will udnerstand you :D but yeah.)

    A resend validation email button.
    Now this I say because I have sent a few emails but I have only recieved 4 email validations when I have sent 10 emails, can you please add this in? :D

  19. Have a video of you self talking to you in the future

    Wouldn't it be fun to have your past self talk to you in the future! It would be like a personal mentor that checks you time to time. Believe me I think it will be awesome!
