MailNotifier
Last Updated: Jan 26, 2019 Game Version: 8.1.0
Overview
MailNotifier is a small addon that has two purposes: tracking how many unread mails the player has in the inbox and alerting him when new mail is received (plays a sound and flashes the minimap mail button).
Features
- Tracks how many unread mails the player has in the inbox
- Alerts the player when new mail is received
- No configuration needed
Limitations
Except when the player visits the inbox, it's impossible to know exactly how many unread mails he has. This is why Mail Notifier can only detect mails received while playing, and by comparing the mail senders list at login (ex: If you have 1 sender when you logout and 3 when you login, obviously you have at least received 2 more mails).

Posted Mar 4, 2019I am not hearing a sound when I get a mail. Would be nice if there was a config where you can choose the sound and the volume.

Posted Sep 14, 2017FYI @ Jaliborc
When performing a .toc update for new game versions could you please ensure you actually do update the interface number! MailNotifier Broker v21 is supposed to be updated for Shadow of Argus but it still shows the interface number as 70200 instead of 70300 so the game flags it as out of date (obviously). I would have posted this comment there but Comments for MailNotifier Broker haven't been enabled, so figured I may as well just comment here and hope it gets read someday! *shrug*
Also, will you ever investigate the bug with MailNotifier counting every mail twice?

Posted Jul 28, 2016Would it be possible to show the total count of emails, not just up to 50? If
Postal addon can access this information then this should be doable with others.
I am also seeing often an issue, when no mails are present in the inbox anymore, nothing is waiting to be refreshed, but the count is showing 1 mail.

Posted Jan 22, 2016Count incriment is off. It is doubling up on mail count if you only get one mail item.
What I did to test this is I would send a single mail to an alt that had no mail at all. Logging in would intially count that mail as one then within a few second would count up to 2. I could repeat this indefinately and with only mailnotifier, the corresponding ldb addon you made and chcolatebar

Posted Aug 8, 2015Updated to the latest v19 (was using v17) and now I get NO new mail sound and the new mail icon never changes back to the no mail icon! With toons that do have new mail I collect all mail from the mailbox so the mailbox is empty but the MailNotifier icon still shows new mail and when I cursor over it I get the "You have about 1 new mail" tooltip. The new mail sound no longer plays either, not when I login and the toon has new mail nor when I make a purchase from the AH and the mail icon changes to show that I have new mail. I've tried relogging and restarting the game. Problem persists, also there is no error message, just a broken addon that no longer functions correctly.
I use Bazooka for DataBroker displays so I also use MailNotifier Broker to create the DataBroker launcher for MailNotifier.

Posted Aug 11, 2015Decided to check the MailNotifier Project Page to see if there were any tickets for this problem and there are 2 seperate tickets, both created on Jul 04, 2015! There's no response to either ticket from Jaliborc (author of MailNotifier) yet so I added a comment on one and upvoted both. In case anyone else wants to add a comment and/or upvote either ticket:
After taking all mail it still shows "You have about 1 unread mail"
Still shows ''have new mails'' after Clean mailbox and Sound not playing
If there's still no response from Jaliborc in about a week or so I'll try sending a PM directly to Jaliborc to, hopefully, draw attention to this.

Posted Jun 3, 2015I don't have any error, but the mail image doesn't appear. It does make a sound when I get new mail, but no icon at all.
Also, no config to do is a good thing but you should let us decide whether or not we do want the sound/ how loud we want it

Posted Jan 29, 2015I too had this bork when opening talent window. I was also using Strata Fix. I understand that that bug happens with addons quite randomly, but this happened so often with Mail Notifier and the Talent frame I suspect it might be a shared global name or something. And when you're changing a talent, it's often at a crucial time when people are waiting for you.
I love the concept of this, but I can't deal with frequent UI reloads, especially considering the limitations of counting mail only when it's arrived in session. I've also had it indicate mail when there is none, and heard the sound in a dungeon but no mail was in. God, I wish there was a way around this, so I'll keep an eye here.
For those of yuou inquiring about sound, you can replace the sound in the lua file.

Posted Mar 9, 2015For me the above taints stopped when I removed the UIFrameFlash call from MailNotifier.lua. The UIFrameFlash function is known to cause taints, and there is even a guide to replace it with animations.
Without the UIFrameFlash call the mail icon no longer flashes after getting new mail, but the new mail sound and popup are still working.

Posted Feb 26, 2014is there a way to disable the sound? It is extremely loud compared to other sound effects. Otherwise thanks for the great addon for me it is the most reliable LDB addon for mail that I tried. :)
