Description

The mailbox Azeroth deserves.

Postbox replaces the game's mailbox with one fast window: collect in one click, send faster, and never lose mail on a forgotten alt.
It works the moment you open a mailbox. Every extra has an off switch, and it stays light either way.

  • All mail, one click: The whole inbox, gold, items and letters, in one go.
  • Just one kind: Buttons for sold, bought, canceled, expired, your alts and your own Character Groups.
  • Pick or search: Shift- or Ctrl-click rows, or search "ore" or a name, and take just those.
  • Every alt's mail: What each character has waiting, and what each mail holds, searched from anywhere.
  • Never lose expiring mail: Expired auction mail is deleted, gold and all. You're warned at login and on the minimap while there's still time.
  • Faster sending: Names complete as you type. Right-click attaches; Alt-right-click attaches every stack.
  • Your look, your layout: Matches EllesmereUI or ElvUI, or its own Dark or Light style. Drag any column or button.
  • A minimap icon: A count of what's waiting and an expiry marker, in two dozen styles.
  • Safe with your gold: C.O.D. is never paid without asking, and full bags stop a run cleanly.

 

Empty your mailbox in one click

All mail collecting a full inbox

  • In the order you see. Gold, items and letters come out in your list's order. Sort by time left and what's about to expire goes first.
  • Bags checked first. Keep a few slots free for loot. If your bags fill anyway, the run stops cleanly and says what's left.
  • History. What you collected, kept for a week or up to a month: who, what, how much, even the letter's text.

 

Or take only what you want

Search ("ore", "sold", a name), Shift- or Ctrl-click the rows you want, or turn on one-click buttons.

Ctrl-click two mails and take just those, then only the sold mail, then only your bank alts' mail

  • Pick by hand: Ctrl-click mails one by one, or Shift-click a range, and take just those.
  • One click per kind: bought, sold, canceled, expired, other, or from your alts. Turn them on with Show category buttons.
  • Character Groups: put your bank alts or crafters in a group and it gets a button of its own.
  • Take one item without opening the mail: point at a mail's icon, its items fan out, and a click takes the one you want.
  • Your choice: set Attachments on hover to Fan out, or keep the tooltip.
Pointing at a mail's icon fans out its items, and a click takes one

 

 

Never lose mail on a forgotten alt

The minimap icon's tooltip, then Mail Memory

  • Warned in time: a line in chat at login and a marker on the minimap icon when any character's mail has under three days left. Expired auction mail is deleted, gold and all.
  • Mail Memory remembers each character's mailbox at your last visit. Search one character or all of them.
  • One glance: the icon's tooltip lists every character with mail waiting, and what's about to run out.

 

Sending made easy

A name completing as it is typed, then one click attaching every stack

  • Names finish themselves: recent contacts, alts, friends and guild, favorites first.
  • Right-click to attach, Alt-right-click for every stack. More than 12 items go out in one press.
  • Gold always asks first, Ctrl+Enter sends, and Manage Recipients keeps favorites, notes and hidden names tidy.

 

Arrange it your way

Dragging a column to a new place

  • Drag any column or button, hide what you don't need, and choose what each figure shows.
  • Columns or Packed: figures lined up like a table, or packed so subjects get the room.
  • One-line rows, larger rows and History each keep their own layout.

 

A minimap icon that tells you more

Pointing at minimap icon options while the panel beside them previews each one

  • Off until you turn it on; then the game's own mail icon steps aside.
  • A count of what's waiting, and a marker when mail is about to expire, in the shape, color and spot you pick.
  • Two dozen hand-painted styles with glow, pulse and shadow. Point at any option and the panel beside it shows you.

 

A look for every UI

Postbox under EllesmereUI, ElvUI, Blizzard and its own style

  • EllesmereUI: your font, your accent, and the same opacity and border as the windows beside it.
  • ElvUI: your accent, live. Blizzard: the game's own look.
  • Postbox style: Dark or Light, with your accent, border, corners, font and text size. Scale 80% to 130%.

 

  • Safe by design: C.O.D. mail is never paid without asking, and one confirmation pays once, for the mail you chose. Deleting in bulk only ever removes finished mail you chose.
  • Light on your game: No libraries, and no repeating timers away from a mailbox. A full refresh of 50 mails leaves under 2 KB of garbage. Blizzard's mail code is never replaced.
  • Works with: EllesmereUI, ElvUI, Baganator, EllesmereUI bags and the default bags (unmailable items grayed while you send), and the default UI.
