Release Notes
MailboxGUI 4.2.0 is a quality-of-life and polish update focused on better player onboarding, safer upgrades, cleaner economy handling, improved admin tools, and updated language support.

Economy & Storage Improvements
MailboxGUI now adapts better to servers with or without Vault economy support. Servers without economy can still use letters, packages, public Post Office boxes, Post Office NPCs, and physical mailbox gameplay, while economy-only features are hidden safely.
Storage conversion is also cleaner and safer, with current-storage detection, same-type conversion blocking, MySQL validation before switching, and clearer success/failure messages.
Upgrade Notes
Existing mail data should not require a wipe. Legacy YAML installs remain on YAML unless manually converted, and older mail/language data is upgraded safely where possible.
