    For a few days now when I connect my game to the internet, it shows other players' stories, but won't show the mailbox icon allowing me to see other peoples' bases and such. I have 2 3DS's and I realized one (broken one) was the wrong time (few minutes ahead), and I would switch the game back and forth, but then I kept AS on the un-broken 3DS (it turns off with a pop unless I keep it at an angle), and I switched the time to normal on the broken one. I assumed the reason why the mailbox icon wasn't popping up was because the time change. But if the stories of other players is showing, then I don't know why the mailbox icon isn't showing up. I also have OR (recently bought) and I'm not sure if that might be a problem either. I have street pass on obviously.
     
    Well if you change the time most events in game won't be activated for 24h at least and this is every time you change the time so never bother changing the time. The mailbox thing is streetpass of course so if you pass someone who also has oras you will get one and every 8 hours or so you wil get 30 players from the persons you encountered in the pss. I do not know how this exactly works, but if you change the time it may also reset this function like daily events so you may need to wait 24 to 48 hours untill it works again. Also stories of other people will always show up if you are connected to the internet.

    Not being able to get "mail" updates happens when you change your 3DS time, or when you switch and play your game to another 3DS. Give it a few days (2 or 3) and it'll fix itself.
