BetterInbox

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

BetterInbox replaces the default paging Blizzard inbox with a scrollable inbox with some extra features.

- Summary of invoices, attachments and gold at the top.
- Dropdown embedded to select what to open, all mail, all items, all gold.
- Select certain mails via a checkbox and open the selected mails, items or gold

The open all feature might still have some quircks with battleground tokens you can't pick up.

See the screenshot for an example of the attachment summary and looks.

Enjoy,

-Ammo

Of all the addons that broke with 5.0.4 I'm most upset with this one.

WOW, I thought this would never get an update lol. Thank you sooo much for this update! This is the only addon for mail i could stand and the other mail addons just didnt have what I was looking for, so i used this all the time, even though it was out of date.

The only 2 problems that I have are the "Inbox is Full" message blocks the gold message, and that when opening mail with Open All, when the inbox is closed during this process then reopened, a placeholder for the last mail that was opened shows up which has to be manually deleted.

Would sure be nice if the "Inbox is Full" message were moved down just a tad so it does not cover the enclosed gold message. Also, the 'Item not found' message sure gets old.

Add a contact list to your BetterOutbox addon, that works like the friends list (in terms of adding people) And make a button to import guild mates and friends :)

Nice work on both of the addons, please update them with new great features ;D

A very nice addon, keep it up!

One thing I wanted to suggest (maybe someone else did earlier, sorry). Basically, sometimes I would like to keep some items in mail due to lack of space in bags/bank/whatever. It's easy to keep them in mail when you receive 3 new mails, then you can just select the new ones, select "open selected" and it works well. The problem is when I receive 30 or 40 separate mails, then it's ofc easier to open all of them. Here's the thing: is it possible to for the addon to check if some mails are already "read" and just add an option like "leave read mail alone"?

Mucho appreciated!

I am getting the same item not found error when using CT Mail Mod instead. I think the issue isn't specifically with this mod

The item not found spam is old. Also its been crashing WoW lately when I've been opening up my mail. Good times.

Can you please see about fixing the constant "item was not found" error that pops up? the mail still gets taken correctly but it gets spammed and is very annoying.

Really love this. Looks so great, love that it shows my enclosed money, and BetterOutbox is also EXACTLY what I had been looking for (auto-fill my alts first).

I LOVE this addon. It makes my life as an AH junkie so much easier!
I'm wondering: is there any way to be able to sort the mails in my inbox alphabetically without doing it manually? Kind of similar to the function that removes the pages and replaces them with a scrolling bar?

For example, if one of my alts has sent me a bulkmail with item b, another has sent me item z and yet another has sent me item a, is it possible to have an addon that lists them a, b, z?

cheers

Any chance that you could add a "delete selected" button with that functionality? All these stupid letters from the elder quests really made me miss some of the old addons that had that functionality.

It seems broken, yes. Can we expect an update with fixes or should we abandon this addon?
