I mean : before, i used postal+automate. Postal for retrieving mail (i just use the "open all" feature), automate to send mail (i shift-right click anything in my bag, and voila, it's very fast and intuitive).
Now, right click put the item in the send box, but i still have to clic send. As my bag is at the opposite of the mail window, that's a lot of time added. As i usually send hundreds, maybe thousands, mails per day, that little difference end up having a big impact.

But maybe i'm missing something ?


I'm not sure what you're talking about. All I did was change the keybinding from alt-left click to right click (same as lazypig uses afaik). I've never heard of "automate".

If the problem was a conflict of keybindings with shift I've now changed it to only work on regular clicks without alt/control/shift.

Here's a little preview of an update I've been working on. You can try it out on the dev branch but I'll take another week or so for some refactoring before I release it.

The mass mail tab is gone and the functionality merged into the regular send tab with a UI like the blizzard retail frames.

I've been using something called PickMail along with Postal, if there's any use of it (for maybe integration).

It's 20 lines of code doing a very simple thing, nothing "sketch" about it :shock:
That said I'd be surprised if that snippet functions (grab money and items and delete empty mails) are not covered by other mail addons.

Not sure if that's worth it. Using open selected is at most one additional click on average (less if you're opening more than one mail) to do the same and personally I use open all in 99.9% of cases anyway.

By the way, I've uploaded the new version now. The code still needs some refactoring but the functionality should be essentially complete.

Note that the COD will only work for the first attachment and the others will be sent as regular mail. (Same for the money but there it doesn't make a difference)

That's it, but it seem not maintained anymore.

Bit wrote:If the problem was a conflict of keybindings

It was not.

As i just updated Postal (by mistake ^^) a few minutes ago, i'll try to explain by comparison.

Sending a ton of mails with old Postal + automate :
1) right click on the mailbox
2) open bags (it bugs me than automate, who is supposed to do that, actually do the opposite - maybe a conflict with some other addon, tho)
3) puting the name of the addressee
4) shift-right click, in my bags, any item i want to send (in unlimited number : no need to ever move the cursor to the mail window again)

Sending a ton of mails with new Postal :
1) right click on the mailbox
2) open bags
3) puting the name of the addressee
4) draging an item from the bags to the mail window
5) going back to the bags, and then to the mail window, for each other item

When you send a lot of items (i usually send hundreds or more), it's a HUGE waste of time.

But maybe i'm doing it wrong.
Maybe there's a combination of keys in Postal who do what automate do ?

You can right click (no shift) items in your bags to add them to the attachments.

You can add up to 21 attachments per mail like this. To actually send everything you do have to click on the send button though.

Also I'm pretty sure my bag opens automatically but that may be the onebag addon doing that.

Ok, so it's less efficient than old postal+automate (i just tried it again with current postal version).
I'll stick with that older version for now.
