Better Outbox  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: r15-release
by: Ammo [More]

Better Outbox is Better Inbox's outbox brother.

It adds the following features to the outbox frame:
- Autocompletion of your alts automatically. Helps when you have non-guilded alts.
- Autofills the subject if no subject is set and you are only sending money.
- Autofills the recipient with the last person mailed.

I'm still looking for ways to improve, please leave a comment!

Enjoy,

-Ammo

r15-release:
- 4.0 compatible release

r12-release:
- Store last known recipient across sessions
- 3.2 toc

r10-release:
- Focus the recipient box after sending a mail

r8-release:
- Add p3lim suggestion of last recipient
- Make this work with every locale (I hope)

r6-release:
- Initial release
Optional Files (0)

Suggestion: add this

I have this feature in my bag-o-treats add-on:
Code:
function addon:MAIL_SEND_SUCCESS()
	if(self.last) then
		SendMailNameEditBox:SetText(self.last)
		SendMailNameEditBox:HighlightText()
	end
end

do
	local orig = SendMailFrame_SendMail
	function SendMailFrame_SendMail(...)
		addon.last = SendMailNameEditBox:GetText()
		orig(...)
	end
end
It sets the last send-to name

Usefull feature?

A dropdownbox might be handy where one can save the most used recipients.

I added the last recipient mailed and made it work with GlobalStrings from blizzard, so it should be localized as well

Would be neat if there was a way to forward mail to someone else.

Not really an Outbox but an Inbox feature. I'll keep it in mind for BetterInbox

I like the idea of auto-filling the name of the last person mailed, but I find myself changing it frequently, as I mail stuff between 7 different toons. To make this smoother, I think it would be nice to have the name filled in as well as selected when I go to the send tab. That way, I could just start typing a new toon's name in to replace the old one, instead of having to manually select that text every time. Is that even possible?

I like this idea very much. It would make choosing a recipient much easier, especially when you have 9 alts and a bzillion friends who also have way too many alts. Trying to remember names is sometimes frustrating, and having to close the mailbox and open the friends list for this is annoying. So like maybe a drop-down list of 20 or so names that you mail the most. Really would help when you're like me and have brain farts where you just cannot remember the person's name. *giggle*

Another, related, idea which just occurred to me is configurable lists based on stuff like professions and class. So if you've been farming herbs with your main and you have some you don't need, open your mailbox and open your alchemy contact list (to which you would have added your alts and friends who are alchemists) and choose an alt/friend to send stuff to. Just an idea. =)

feature request

I would love it if you added a feature to send to all guild members feature because I am the person who sends off all mail and messages to guild members but there 261 members which is why I would love this feature.

I would suggest useing the in game calender for this. then that way eveyone can leave feed back that the whole guild can see. (will attend / will not attend)

also you don't have to be at a mail box to see what some one posted on the calender.

Feature request: Bulk mail sending. ie, being able to alt click 40+ items into a outbox list and automate the sending of multiple mails.

This is something the mod BulkMail did, but that mod (I believe) has been discontinued and no longer works past 3.1 - myself and a lot of other people really miss that. If you spend much time playing the AH or mass mailing for any other reason (alts, etc) it really makes life easier.

Also a function to select all shown on a page, instead of clicking 6 times, maybe even a longer list, would be cool with 6-10-15-25-50 or something like that, for a better overview.

I think I don't understand. What 'page' are you talking about?
