i cleared 10 "old" mailboxes, but we really do need the replacement ASAP

Oh? What's the replacement? I still think an NPC ought to get the job. Talk to NPC -> select name in range A-D, E-I etc., then select name, then the NPC puts that player's mailbox on a table. Or your own for quick access.

i've finally gotten done w/ the new post office update script, and the post office migration script: 7847ee9edb (and subsequent minor updates)

some points:

i apparently have multiple accidentally rented mailboxes in the old post office, and it may take a couple passes of the migration script to deal w/ those
the numbering in the new post office doesn't bear much relation to the "existing" numbering. the "existing" numbering was way off (most "rows" of mailboxes were allotted an odd number of ids, while they're all evenly sized?), and i decided to go w/ a simpler approach.
i've tested things extensively on my local server w/ a copy of the haven post offices, but we should certainly test the migration on the test server before deploying to the main server
the post office management code is now part of the mailbox mod, and not yl_commons. the mailbox mod got a fairly extensive refactoring, in order to make the logic of managing individual boxes and post offices simpler.

There are still plenty of boxes in the old post office building, even from players who are still active. The staff itself is not exemplary either. And there is still a sign on the road pointing to the post office.

Why not put a sign with an end date of 31.12. there, send an email to all defaulters and then make the eviction in the new year?
