Better Inbox

Version: r88-release

by: Ammo [More]

BetterInbox replaces the default paging Blizzard inbox with a scrollable inbox with some extra features.

- Summary of invoices, attachments and gold at the top.
- Dropdown embedded to select what to open, all mail, all items, all gold.
- Select certain mails via a checkbox and open the selected mails, items or gold

The open all feature might still have some quircks with battleground tokens you can't pick up.

See the screenshot for an example of the attachment summary and looks.

Enjoy,

-Ammo

Once I go into ..\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\<username>\<server name>\<character name>\SavedVariables and erase the postal variables then log back in Better Inbox works fine. I'll post on Postal's site as well - I'm not sure who's causing the problem - just wanted to let you know.

Everglow An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 36 File comments: 94 Uploads: 7	So happy when I found this mod was back up and running... I'd tried some others in the meantime, but they don't compare. This is definitely the best mail addon I've seen. I have one feature request. I rarely, if ever open ALL mail, so the first thing I do when I download an update of this mod is to get into the lua code and change the default setting to open SELECTED Mail. Could you maybe have the drop-down choice persist across sessions, or (a better solution) have an option to change the default choice. Thanks for writing this mod, Ammo! __________________ Everglow - Sisters of Elune/US

You can disable this addon and reload the UI." There's no errors accompanying it, only that.

When this happens, I simply log out and back in and then it works. I can't seem to figure out any consistency to when it happens and when it doesn't happen.

I have not been able to reproduce this. Did you try with only BetterInbox? It could be some conflicting addon.

Yea, I'm currently using only BetterInbox exclusively, yet it still happens. I'm not sure how to definitively determine if there is a conflicting mod or not. Since the problem is random at best, and a simple /logout and then re-logging in (not changing anything) fixes the problem, I don't see a way to determine if there is a conflict or not.

When I log in for the first time, I simply log out and log back in now, although I'm okay with doing that now, I might need to seek an alternative. It's not your own fault as it's not a reproducible error, if you're not able to reproduce it how can you fix it. I really love this mod too - hope we can figure something out.

CT Mod mail function was showing all her mail as blank (kind of like the image below). I suspect your seeing a taint from another Mod.. turn off all the mods but this one and see if it still does it. also delete the save variables in the WTF/Accounts/(account-name)/Saved Variables for any mods you have updated recently..

This can be caused by Server lag.. since Better Inbox list all mail in one window (instead of pages) it can be that it will take time to load (even if you only have a few messages) -- I have seen this with vendor windows too that put it all in a list.

if you get this again, try this right after it is blank

close mailbox
type /reloadui
once it refreshes -- open mailbox.. see if mail is there.. if it is, then its prolly just server lag.

Thanks for that - I am located in China right now, so lag could defiantly be a problem, but I've never expierenced it anywhere else which is the odd thing.

I just discovered another saved variable location located at: \WTF\Account\<USER NAME>\<SERVER NAME>\<CHARACTER NAME>\SavedVariables

I found some saved variables there that I deleted too. Will give it a try now.

hi, here's the Chinese Simplified trasnlation:

Code:

local L = LibStub("AceLocale-3.0"):NewLocale("BetterInbox", "zhCN")

if not L then return end

-- dropdown entries
L["All Mail"] = "所有邮件"
L["All Gold"] = "所有金钱"
L["All Items"] = "所有物品"
L["Selected Mail"] = "选定的邮件"
L["Selected Gold"] = "选定的金钱"
L["Selected Items"] = "选定的物品"

-- inbox summary
L["%d items in %d stacks"] = "%d 件物品 (%d 组)"
L["Attachments:"] = "附件信息:"
L["Enclosed:"] = "已到金额:"
L["Pending:"] = "即到金额:"
L["Costs:"] = "花费:"

-- tooltip
L["CoD Costs"] = "货到付款项"
L["Delayed Money"] = "即到款项"
L["Attachments"] = "附件"

-- button
L["Open"] = "收取"

the following is the description for it:

Code:

## Notes-zhCN: 收件箱增强版,滚轮式翻页方式,包含收取全部邮件功能
