Postal

Postal offers enhanced mailbox support by providing the following features:

BlackBook: Adds a contact list next to the To: field.
- Tracks all your characters (as you log each one on) and list them if they are on the same realm/faction on a "Alts" list
- Tracks the last 10 players you mailed on a "Recently Mailed" list.
- Autocomplete names from Alts/Recently Mailed/Contacts/Friends/Guild list. You can choose which of these lists to use.
- Option to autofill in the last person mailed to the To: field.
- Option to disable Blizzard's name auto-completion popup.
DoNotWant: Shows a clickable visual icon as to whether a mail will be returned or deleted on expiry.
Express: Adds shortcuts
- Shift-Click to take item/money from mail
- Ctrl-Click to return mail
- Alt-Click to move an item from your inventory to the current outgoing mail (same as right click in default UI)
- Mousewheel to scroll the inbox
- Added option to disable multiple item mail tooltips.
OpenAll: Allows you to open all mails of selected types at one go in your inbox
- All AH Cancelled mail
- All AH Expired mail
- All AH Outbidded mail
- All AH Success mail
- All AH Won mail
- Non-AH mail with attachments
- Shift-Click on the OpenAll button will open all mail and override your filter settings.
- Choose to have a number of bag slots always left free when opening mail (You may need to slow down your opening speed option or leave more empty bag space due to server/client latency.)
Rake: Displays summary of money gained from opening mail
Select: Adds checkboxes to the inbox with buttons for selective opening/returning
- Added mail indicator numbers above the checkboxes.
- Added help note that you can Shift-Click 2 checkboxes to select everything between them.
- Added help note that you can Ctrl-Click a checkbox to select all mail from that sender.
- Choose to have a number of bag slots always left free when opening mail (You may need to slow down your opening speed option or leave more empty bag space due to server/client latency.)
TradeBlock: Block trades and guild charter signature invites from people while you are at the Inbox
Wire: Autoupdate the subject field with money amount if blank.

While this might not be too intuitive to some users, each character that you log on will have its own initial Postal profile (settings). If you wish that some or all your characters share the same profile (and hence share the same contact list), then you can create a New Profile, call it anything you want such as "Shared by Alts", and have all your other characters change to that profile.

Postal's menu and settings can be accessed at the upper right corner of your mailbox.

Change Log - Postal

Changes from v3.2.1 to v3.2.2

Fix the annoying error about editbox being nil caused by Postman's improper hooking.
Change the "Please delete some mail..." standard Blizzard message into a more useful one that:
- Shows you how MANY mails remain after the current 50.
- Tells you how long (in seconds) it is until you get to refresh for more.
Add a setting for "Keep free space", defaults to keeping 1 regular bagslot free in the Select and OpenAll modules. You may need to slow down your opening speed option or leave more empty bag space due to server/client latency.
Make our BlackBook autocomplete complete before Blizzard's reinstated one. Make the Friends/Guild list BlackBook options affect Blizzard's autocomplete instead in its popup menu (if it is enabled).
Add an option to turn on or off Postal's auto-complete (default on).

Changes from v3.2.0 to v3.2.1

Fix the occasional issue where auto-complete will not start working until at least 2 letters are typed.
Fix the Send button not enabling itself when typing in a name to send to after putting items into the mail first.

Changes from v3.1.2 to v3.2.0

Updated for patch 3.2!
TradeBlock module now also blocks guild charter signature invites while the mailbox is open.
New module: DoNotWant. Shows a clickable visual icon as to whether a mail will be returned or deleted on expiry. Allows fast deleting/returning of mail by clicking the icon (bye Lunar festival mail!). Standard popup warnings will still show for deleting items though.
Fix name auto-completion in BlackBook module. Now works with Blizzard's one and still retains previous behavior.
Additionally, you can now choose which lists (Alts/Recent/Contacts/Friends/Guild) Postal will auto-complete names from, as well as disable Blizzard's name auto-completion popup in the BlackBook module options.
Postal now shows a tooltip containing the mail subject on mouseover if the subject line is too long to fit in the default MailFrame.
The mailbox will no longer show the silly red "Not all of your mail could be delivered. Please delete some mail to make room." message under our Open and Return buttons in the Select module when you have more than 50 mails. Postal will print it to chat once instead.

Changes from v3.1.1 to v3.1.2

Hides the minimap unread mail button if there are no unread mail on closing the mailbox. Does not scan past the first 50 items since only the first 50 are viewable.
Change the opening speed menu to show speeds between 0.3 to 1.0 (with 0.05 steps) and 1.0 to 5.0 (with 0.5 steps). Change the default opening speed from 0.75 to 0.50.
Add separate OpenAll filters specific to your Faction AH and Neutral AH.

Changes from v3.1.0 to v3.1.1

Attempt to fix autocomplete in IME char composition mode.
Fix mouse wheel scrolling in the MailFrame.
Update passing arguments for some hooks in patch 3.1.

Changes from v3.0.0 to v3.1.0

You are recommended to '''delete your old Postal folder''' before installing the new one because it is a Ace3 rewrite and there are a lot of old files and libraries that are no longer needed.

Framework: Upgraded from Ace2 to Ace3.
Libraries: DewdropLib is gone. Now uses UIDropDownMenu in the default UI.
Profile system: Now actually works. The old Postal saved profiles in character specific SVs, so it was useless for copying or sharing.
Localization: Now uses the wowace localization app at http://www.wowace.com/projects/postal/localization/ to auto-generate the locale files. As such, all 8 locale files are now merged into 1 file since it no longer needs to be maintained manually.
Slash command /postal: Removed. I don't think anyone used it.
DejaVu module: Removed. Its functions are now in BlackBook module.

Note: Your old settings (from v3.0.0) are NOT migrated. It should only take at most 30 seconds to look at the 10 or so settings anyway.

Optional Files - Postal

Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.

Spahut A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 137 File comments: 111 Uploads: 0	Problem: I select the 'to' field, press a letter, and now it autocompletes that name. I then add a few items, and press "send", they are mailed to the recipient. Now the name in the "to" field is highlighted, so when i press a new key, the name there is deleted BUT there is no auto complete of the name. Example: I press "S", it autofills "Sarah". in my bags i clikc on some cloth, which is not attached to the mail to sarah. I click send. The mail is sent. How the name "sarah" is nighlighted in the "to" field (and blizzards menu is dropped down). How I press "J" expecting it to autofill "Jane", but instead i just see a "J" in the "to" field - (since "sarah" was highlighted it has been deleted, but apparently postal doesn't notice this) And now when i return to a mail box a name is already filledout, I can't just press one key to have a new name filled out - i have to delete the old one first - that sort of removes the usefullness of autofil out..

That's right, ***** at someone whos native language probably isn't English.

Not that imaginative....

It deletes or returns the mail depending on the status of the mail... (ie look of the icon)

Csalago A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 39 Uploads: 4	found a bug. if you add items to the new mail first, and then have it autofillin a recipient name, the send button does not appear. if you do the name first, and then add the items, it's fine.

Cool beans! When you get yours up, the mini patch I hacked together will go down. No need for a branch when I really don't know what on earth I'm doing.

No, it doesn't fix the problem, but it does remove the annoying pop-up. __________________ Because I have closed my mouth, do not think you have silenced me. I am just eating bacon.
