What's new

# Absolute Mailbox - Changelog

## 1.0.3

### Fixed
- **Confirmations always act on the right letter.** Take the gold, Return, Block & return, Pay C.O.D. and Delete now find their letter again when you click. If it changed or left the inbox while the question was open (auto-return, Open All), nothing happens and you are told. Auto-return also waits while a question is open.
- **Receiving letters no longer makes a stranger "Known".** Only taking their gold after being asked, or mailing them yourself, does, so a gold seller can't earn trust by sending several letters.
- **Open All opens every letter**, including many identical auction letters. It only gives up on a letter whose gold or item really will not come out.
- **A blocked sender's letter the server will not return** is tried twice, not over and over.
- **Block & return** returns the letter once.
- **The reading pane stays on the letter you opened** when other letters leave the inbox.
- **Names keep their realm.** Blocked senders, your alts, recent recipients and the gold log are shared across your account, and now work correctly from characters on other realms.
- **Closing the window during combat** ends the mailbox properly instead of leaving it open behind the scenes.
- **Turning off "Replace the game's mailbox" during a visit** brings the game's mailbox back in place.
- The gold log records gold when it actually arrives, not when it was asked for.
- After a send, the game's hidden mailbox no longer keeps keyboard focus, and a letter sent from the game's own window leaves your Absolute Mailbox draft alone.
- Mouse-wheeling a Settings slider now saves the value.
- "Delete empty letters after reading" now applies when you open another letter too.
- Faster redraws during Open All.

### Changed
- **New emblem.** A weathered blue mailbox with its red flag up and airmail envelopes bursting out in a blue and red swirl, set in the gold Absolute medallion. It is used for the minimap button, the window header, the About tab, the Mail Assurance strip, the dialogs and the addon list icon.

## 1.0.2

### Changed
- **Minimap button:** smaller and the same size as every other Absolute addon's (a 24 px button with a 22 px emblem), so they take up less room around the minimap.

## 1.0.1

### Changed
- **Absolute Assurance History in every rating.** A mail sender is never nearby, so the mailbox no longer offers to audit them. It reads what Absolute Assurance already knows instead: anyone you have audited or flagged there is recognised by name and realm, and their rating, when you audited them and why are shown on the letter and in the gold warning. A bad actor from your History is flagged the moment their mail arrives.
- Gold that Absolute Assurance's ledger has logged from a sender (trades and mail, on every character) is shown with the rating.
- When Absolute Assurance is installed, a sender who is not in its History says so.
- The Audit buttons are gone from the reading pane, the sender details and the inbox menu.

## 1.0.0
First release, for WoW Forever and Retail.

### Mailbox
- **Replaces the game's mailbox.** Mailboxes open Absolute Mailbox: a translucent glass window you can move, resize, lock, fade (30-100%) and scale (70-150%). Turn it off in Settings or with /amail replace.
- **Compact or expanded.** The window starts compact. The gold handle (the same animated slider as Absolute Character) or clicking a letter slides it open to the full view.
- **Inbox** with sender, subject, time left, gold, C.O.D. and item counts, unread highlighting and search.
- **Reading pane** with the letter, auction house invoices, crafting-order mail, attachments, C.O.D. confirmation, Reply, Return/Delete, Report and Take all.
- **Open All** and **Collect Gold**, one step at a time like the game's own. C.O.D., Game Master mail and blocked senders are left alone.
- **Send Mail** with the game's name completion, 12 attachment slots, right-click-to-attach from your bags, Send Money or C.O.D., postage and your balance, plus a Contacts panel (your characters, recent recipients, friends online).

### Mail Assurance
- Every sender is rated: Your alt, Friend, Guild, Known, Unknown, Suspicious (gold-seller adverts in the letter) or Blocked.
- Taking gold from an unknown or risky sender asks first, shows why, and offers Take the gold, Return to sender or Block & return. High-risk gold sounds an alarm and flashes a screen warning.
- Works with Absolute Assurance: its audits and your flags feed the rating.

### Blocked senders and gold log
- Block from the inbox (right-click), the reading pane, the Blocked tab or /amail block. Their gold and items are returned automatically; text-only letters can be deleted.
- Every copper taken from the mail is logged with date, sender and rating (Assurance tab).

### Also
- About tab with version, website and support.
- Minimap button and addon compartment entry.
