Postal
Postal   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
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.

Mass Mailing

Actually I quite like the current feature, where if I instead of right clicking on an item in my bags I press ctrl left click it fires off the old mail and I am free to start a new. That provides the exact same functionality but leaves the decision on when to send up to me, not automagically ripping a mail out of my hands before I'm sure I want it to go.

Hi all,

Might implement some of the below requested options regarding mass-mailing when I have free time.

I also have to disagree. I repeatedly find myself mass-mailing to the same alts or guildmates over and over in the same session.

Have to say, I agree with this. It's a feature that is really handy which is currently preventing me from using just Postal on its own.

Mass mail

I need a way to mass mail gold to split BoE sales gold. Any chance it's still doable?

Used to be a addon that did that, but it stopped working in BC, not sure if the API still supports that?

Is there a way to change which chat tab verbose mode is output to? I have a seperate chat tab for autioneer etc, and would rather Postal verbose text be output there also - is this possible?

I've searched through the options to no avail, so either I am blind or it's not available yet!

Hi Gsusnme,

There are currently no intentions to add such a feature. Rarely will anyone need to send mass mail attachments to the same recipient.

Hi kaimox,

The error has nothing to do with Auctioneer or Postal.

DepositBox! is broken because it tries to hook AuctionFrameBrowse_Update() during its loading, but the Blizzard's default UI's Auction Load-On-Demand addon will not load until you first visit the AH.

To fix this, the author of DepositBox! has to either add Blizzard_AuctionUI to his required dependencies, or to register for ADDON_LOADED in his addon and listen for the event for Blizzard_AuctionUI loading.

I'm getting the following error on login since I updated to the last version of Postal (and others too):

Neckckn said something about " some issue with Postal, that is then cascading to Auctioneer" (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...=7879#comments). I don't know why, but maybe you could have a look at it?

Thanks for the great mod! I love it, I was able to replace PriorityMail and Express Mail by Tekkub, and CT_Mail by the CT people, 3 add-ons < 1 add-on = WIN.

The ONLY feature so far I am missing is from PriorityMail, when I filled all 12 Mail slots it would automatically send the letter and start a new one to the same recipient. Any chances on adding such a feature? If you do I'll take my shirt off...

The main culprit is the addon Altoholic, and I've discussed this with Thaoky (author of Altoholic), we will both add options to disable auto-complete in our addons.

References regarding this issue, about 10 posts worth:

The current workaround is to disable one addon, or the other, or to disable the BlackBook module in Postal. Or since your programming is better than mine, find the line that does the auto-complete hook and comment it out. :P

Excellent. Thanks.. I'll just disable Altoholic then.

When auto complete is done, the auto completed bits are not selected, so typing extra letters will append to the auto complete, instead of replacing them.

For example, in the example above, if I type "a", "abcd" will appear, and the cursor will be behind "d", nothing will be selected.

If I then enter b, it'll become "abcdb". Which is extremely irritating.

Anyway, I have a billion and 1 addons, so it's probably a localized bug on my end, if you have any ideas what kind of addons generally don't work well with Postal, let me know.

When you typed "a", we don't know if you wanted to send to "abcd" or "abde" so it picks the first one it finds. When you type "b" to get "ab", it still doesn't know which person you want to send to.

I don't know how many other Xinhuan's you know, but if you are the same one that studied with me in RI, then yes I know you.
