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 v3.2.2 to v3.3.0

Updated for patch 3.3!
Add backward compatibility for MrPlow API function call change.
Tweak mail opening algorithm so that it won't skip mails when the opening speed is really fast (such as 0.3).
In BlackBook module, Friends will now auto-complete if Guild disabled and they are in Guild (and vice-versa).
Raise frame level of some buttons by 1.
Add workaround to Blizzard's patch 3.3 menu buttons showing behind the menu itself hence they appear disabled.

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.

That would be fantastic. Can't wait!

Is this possible? Does this functionality exist and I just missed the option?

Otherwise love the addon, keep up the good work.

xtoq A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 25 File comments: 624 Uploads: 2	Hi thanks for all the updates. I swear I requested this before, so if I did and have forgotten your response, just slap me. I would love to have a notification pop up when I login to tell me if I have mail about to expire on a toon. Altoholic does this, but I really hate all the extra crap that I don't need with that addon. There's also and LDB plugin called MailExpiryFu that does this too, but for some reason crashes my game when I use it. I'll try it again, just to be sure, but I thought this would be an EXCELLENT addition to Postal. Thanks again for such a wonderful addon, and when I have the extra cash, I'll be sure to donate to you, as I use a ton of your addons. __________________ There is absolutely no evidence to support the theory that life is serious.

I have tried MailNotifier but that thing seems broken - always says "No Mail" in the LDB text portion. I'd like to see if you could incorportate a "simple" LDB plugin that just does the above and maybe on mouse-over shows rake info.

Thanks! And happy holidays

A quick search revealed the following 2 different addons:
http://wowinterface.com/downloads/in...erGotMail.html
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...oker_mail.aspx

Although I suspect BrokerGotMail doesn't work properly reading the comments. The other one should work, seeing as Ag is the author.

Yes. Nothing appears to work anymore when tabbed out. I'm sure that's to deter botters.

@Xinhua: I can confirm Grim Notepad's bug. Of course, it's not at all a game breaker.

Raederle A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 61 Uploads: 0	One side effect I've noticed from patch 3.3 is that auctioneer wont post and postal wont open mails if I'm tabbed out of wow. This is very annoying as I'd much rather read boards during all that dead time. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the postal code, but Xinhuan, would you have any idea what is going on? Did they disallow mod execution when tabbed out? Thanks, Raederle PS I didn't know either that one could shift leftclick a checkbox further down to open all between that and the first checkbox. Perfect! PPS - I'd rather miss some then be slower Last edited by Raederle : 12-09-2009 at 06:40 PM.

The net effect is a slower emptying of 50 items, though.

I rolled back to get the quicker opening speeds, and would kindly suggest that the "slow down to never skip an item" feature be added as an option instead of as core functionality.

Thanks for the great addon

I don't intend to do this. You can currently select all mails between a start-mail and a end-mail by clicking the checkbox on in the start, and shift-clicking the last mail.

Example, you first click on checkbox 12 to select it (turn it on), then shift-click on checkbox 36. All mails between 12 and 36 inclusive get selected.

You can use Ctrl-click on a checkbox to select/unselect all mails from the same sender.

shomizu9 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	3.3 Works fine if .toc is updated manually to 30300 Thanks for this addon and your others edit: ok, maybe a little too quick. a minor quibble, the name shortcut drop down list in the compose window is faded mostly behind the composition window itself; sorry for the poor description, not sure how else to put it. You can still mostly see the names in the list, they're just sort of hidden/grayed behind the frame. otherwise the addon works fine for me. I'll post the bug at the listed url in the addon description -shomizu9 Last edited by shomizu9 : 12-09-2009 at 04:12 AM.
