## Postal Profiles

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.

## Mass Mailing Abilities

Postal does not come with any abilities to send out mass mails (i.e. messages to more than 1 person at a time). There is no intention to add such functionality to Postal.

> 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-remake/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.
