Starmail is an in-game mechanic found through the Ranch House menu by clicking the "Starmail" button. It allows the player to read any Starmail the player receives over the course of the game. Any unread Starmail is automatically considered read once opening it.
Since Starmail is the trigger for some of the major features unlocked during the course of the game, reading Starmail is required to fully progress in the game.
Introduction
Starmail is received when certain requirements have been met. If a certain starmail is in a series of starmails, such as Rancher introduction Starmails, it must be read before being able receive the next one. Certain Starmail act as triggers to unlock new features, such as the 7Zee Rewards Club, so must be opened to be able to receive them.
While Starmail does not allow the player to directly respond to received starmail, some of Casey's responses appear to be to a previous conversation, which implies that Beatrix responds to them when reading them.
