How to unlock the Mailbox Full achievement

    Credit goes to Kalkane101 for this wonderful tip:

    "The 500 messages are in your inbox not the twitter-like feed thing on the side. If you have completed career and don't wish to carry on doing races to get mails from wins you can abandon season and you will return to the dashboard screen asking you to check inbox to sign new contract.

    Go into inbox and you will have 1-2 new emails. wait for save icon to appear in right corner and exit out of career. Go back in and new email has appeared, enter inbox, exit, repeat. Just make sure you wait for save icon to disappear so each email is counted. Boring, but a lot quicker than doing races."

    Again, all credit goes to Kalkane101 for this solution. I had gone through 550 races and nothing until I followed his solution and popped the achievement after going in and out of the inbox 5 times (Yes I was that close to popping it anyways)

    HolyHalfDeadI just did the same, before even seeing this comment.

    16 Seasons in, and I’m starting to worry that I will be doing this stupid achievement using this solution.

    In this solution i try my best to explain how to get this achievement on the normal way.

    I got the achievement in Season 19 and i did only a few of the side events every year. What counts are the messages from your team, the Twitter-like feed doesn't matter.

    And now: How to get the 500 messages without wasting time.

    You will need around 18~20 seasons to get all the career achievements (historic goals etc.). For some, this will be enough, but for others it wont be. I would suggest you do a few side events every season to get some more races. Also, winning accolades will mostly unlock new events (with new races).

    Doing some side events will give you the 500 messages sooner or later, but to save time, here is a trick I figured out:

    After every Qualifiying, back out to the career hub (or the calendar). Don't start the race from the Qualifiying! In the career hub, check your messages, you should now have a message from your team about your qualifiying performance. After you have read the message go to the race. After the race you should have a message from your team about your race performance. You now have 2 messages. Going to the race immediately after qualifiying will give you only 1 message about your race, not about the qualifiying.

    NOTE: UnfurledEmu75 pointed out that you dont have to reed the messages (immediately).

    So, always go back to the career hub after each:
    Qualifiying,
    Race (also go back out after Race 1 if the event has two Races)

    You leave the qualifiying or race 1 after it ended by "Quit" > "Save results"

    You will only get a message from your team in 9 out of 10 cases, so dont be surprised if you dont get a message.


    I hope the guide is helpfull. English isn't my mother tongue, so maybe there are some language mistakes.

    Rusty Nail zhHolyHalfDead How many races did you finish? You definately get a message per race finished. I got my achievement when I finished my 410th race.
    Also, you don't have to back out to the career menu for the messages to register. I got the achievement between a sprint race and the main race.

    UnfurledEmu75I can confirm you do NOT have to read the messages

    This is a rough guess as I can't find anything that is 100% on how to get this.

    I have done 450ish races in Career Mode which after each race (Contract Race) you will get 1-3 Messages from fans saying "blah blah blah @WMD_DriftinDropBear (or what ever you picked) I was in Season 16 when this achievement popped.

    Make sure to scroll the fan chat each time just so it picks up each message.


    I hope this works for everyone if not just comment.

    DriftinDropBearKalkane01 post that as your own solution and I will delete mine.
    I just couldn't find anything about how to get the achievement so I just posted what I thought it might be

    Sounds kind of silly that messages from your team are "fan messages"

    FalensaranoI unlocked in season 13. Based on some other comments it definitely relates to your mailbox and not the actual fan messages. I did all invitationals once when they unlocked to give a rough guide as to when to expect this to unlock.

    HolyHalfDeadDriftinDropBear It is perfectly acceptable to update your solution with any tips you receive in the comments or with any new information that comes to light about how an achievement works.

    I’m grateful you didn’t delete your solution, as that tip from Kalkane101 is gold.
