OfflineMessenger

I made this for MC version 1.6.4, so it probably works with a few older and newer versions too, i just haven't tested yet; it uses craftbukkit

This is (opinion...) a better alternative for essentials' /mail command. This plugin also allows coloured messages too.

You can "Queue" a message for a player, and when they join, they will receive that message about 5 seconds later (customisable in config.yml). It will also message players who are online too (just after sending, but you could just use /msg though...).

The messages aren't automatically cleared, you can run the command /om clear to clear your messages. You can also send messages from console, or from the messageQueue.yml config, then run /om reload to load the messages from the config

there is a slight "bug" in the plugin; every time a player joins, in console it will say the player has pending messages regardless of if they do or dont have pending messages. will fix soon :))

Requirements

This uses PermissionsEx, so you need that (or anything thats called ru.tehkode.permissions.bukkit.PermissionsEx)

The permissions themselves are:

om.clearPlayer (Permission to clear other players' messages)
om.sendPlayer(Permission to send messages to other players)
om.showPlayer (Permission to see other players' queued messages)

Features

Supports colourful text
Allows messages from multiple people

Commands

/offlinemessenger or /om
/om help
/om show [player] (optionally put a player after show to show you their messages)
/om send <player> <message> (to use spaces in messages, use the underscore character. to use colours, use the & symbol)
/om clear [player] (optionally, put a player after clear to clear their messages
/om reload (reload both configs)

Config

the messageQueue.yml config is structured like so (dont remove "queued"):

queued:
  PlayerToReceiveTheMessages:
    Sender1: '&4The Message &7here with &3colourful &atext &c:)'
    Sender2: 'e'
  AnotherReceiverPlayer:
    SomePerson: '&4no ok'

the config is written to each time someone sends or clears messages, there isnt a periodic save its just done instantly
