Postal

Postal offers enhanced mailbox support by providing the following features:

BlackBook: Adds a contact list next to the To: field.
- This will now track all your characters (as you log each one on) and list them if they are on the same realm/faction on a "Alts" list
- This will now track the last 10 players you mailed on a "Recently Mailed" list.
- This will now autocomplete names from Alts/Recently Mailed list, on top of the Friends/Guild list by default UI.
- Added option to disable auto-filling in the last person mailed. Equivalent to disabling the removed Dejavu module.
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.
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.
TradeBlock: Block trades 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 v3.1.1 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.

Sorry for not seeing the forum link; I looked for the "Request a Feature" option on the front page and didn't even think to scroll down the page. Any future requests will be put in the right place! XD

xtoq A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 14 File comments: 333 Uploads: 1	Curious, could you add the functionality of this addon (MailIcon - adds an icon to the mailbox indicating whether or not the mail will be returned or deleted) to Postal, or is it already included? I have this addon so I'm not sure. I think its great, and I'd rather see it in Postal than have a seperate addon for it. Thanks for your hard work on all your addons. XD

Minor nuisance, still love the addon

Mainly:

This means: When auto-completing, use
1. alts
2. forced_alts
3. guild (or nothing, optional)
4. friends (or nothing, optional)

I usually only send mail in between my two accounts. I really hate sending items by mistake to someone, who is on my friendslist just because I wanted to check on him :-(.

BTW postal is a great addon and you are one of my favourite authors!

Postal 3.1.0 already does this since a few months ago. We're at Postal 3.1.1 now. For "forced_alts", just add them to your BlackBook module manually. Autocompletion in Postal currently works in the following order:

1. Alts
2. Last 10 recently mailed
3. Blackbook contacts you added
4. Friends list
5. Guild list.

Wait, yes I do, wasting time opening & returning mail by hand. XD

No, there are no plans to add mail deletion of any sort to Postal. There are risks involved that I would rather not take when it comes to deleting items. You will only need to deal with the Elder mails once a year.
