Bulk Mail Inbox

Table of Contents

Addon Support Statement

NEWS: I'm back in WoW. I'll try to update addons after catching up, especially if they are bugging out.

Addon Description

Bulk mail reception made really easy. This addon allows you to selectively pick mails to open from the inbox, open all mails with money or open all items.

Key Features

There are many bulk email openers available to choose from. However Bulk Mail Inbox has several unique features:

Shows a dialog with all items and money in your mailbox.
Allows you to take individual items even if they were all sent in one email.
You can mark multiple items to take make without taking all.
Allows easy comparision of items in the mail list with items you're currently using (just hold shift down while hovering the items).

Bulk Mail Inbox 4.0 beta

The 4.0 beta is a conversion to Ace3 and other modern libraries. In addition it has several improvements and fixes as outlined below:

Inbox pagination and filtering.
Clicking on a column header now sorts that header. Before clicking on any header just rotated the sorting to a new column.
Sorting is reversed if you click on the header which currently is sorted.
Better placement of the tooltip (now sit nexts to the frame that opened it)
Pressing and releasing the shift key while hovering an item will now properly show/hide the comparision window.
Fixed opening of mails is now throttled to prevent errors and as a result opening a lot of mails is now much better.
The list of items is updated during auto opening emails.

There is still some issues when selecting specific items that it randomly "misses" some of the selected items (or well, usually misses about half of them).

I mark 10 stacks of herbs and hit "take selected" i get 6 stacks, and then have to re-select the remaining 4 and hit "take" again, this time getting 2 of them and having to do it yet again to get the last 2.

I found that if you enable both 'POSTAL' and 'BulkMailInbox' at the same time, you get the best of both worlds. To make sure you get all the mail and dont miss anything, i click on the 'postal' OPENALL button on the left, and on the right screen you monitor with 'BulkMailInbox' of what was expired/successfull/returned/newmail. I was surprised that both worked in conjunction.

I think I know what may be causing the problem where only some of the selected items are getting taken. When I take a single item, the list gets re-ordered. When I take several items, it also gets re-ordered but I only get about half of my items - I'm wondering if there is some sort of checking whether the item ID at a location in the list matches the description of the item at that ID in the original selection list and if it doesn't match then it doesn't take the item. Not sure why the re-ordering is happening but I suspect this to be the culprit.

EDIT - actually not sure that's relevant, it happens when the selected items are the last 2 in the list as well

Awesome, but very, very buggy. Bulk Mail breaks other open windows, most especially crafting windows. I can't craft large amounts of items at once anymore as the crafting window breaks at seemingly random times.

I also can't select multiple items and open them at the same time.

Why does the BulkMail Inbox window have different font sizes for some items? And when it's opening mails, the size [and order] of the items randomly change.

Whenever I log onto a character and first open the mailbox, the BulkMail Inbox window opens, but nothing works, I also can't take items out of the mailbox the normal way [shift-clicking the mail, or opening the mail and clicking the items]. It also blocks the Send button from sending mail, and doesn't open my bags.

If I then close the Bulk Mail Inbox window and click the mailbox again, it comes up, brings up my bags and works until I relog.

LDB Icon not showing--

line 279 of the main lua: icon = Interface\Addons\BulkMail2\icon,

actual path: icon = Interface\Addons\BulkMail2Inbox\icon,

also I would like to echo the posters before me, it seems to my ear that BMI is trying to take items out very quickly, faster than Postal set to .3 sec anyway. /Cheers!

I was sooooo happy to find this addon! The only "bug" that I have an issue with is when I select "take all", several items were not found, and i lost the items. My husband had the same issue with his toon. I removed the addon, which saddened me. :( Great concept though!!

I also encountered this last night, I restricted the list to "elem" and hit Take All and one of the mails for an auction win a stack of Elementium Bars got marked as read and was then empty and not deleted, but I did not get the stack in my inventory. This is very harsh when I have an AH characters that goes through many hundreds of mails a day.

@Aisenfaire - I'm having the same problem, it has been like this for a long time. Sometimes I'll even only select 2 items, hit Take Selected, and it will only take 1 of them.

Any word on fixing the issue where Take Selected only takes some of what was selected?

Really hoping this gets fixed soon - I've disabled all addons to make sure it wasn't a conflict with others.

Excellent! Thank you! I am able to take all my mailbox items even when my mailbox is full and it will refresh without issue, which EasyMail did not. This plus AuctionLite makes it possible to quickly buy up mass quantities of stackable items on the auctionhouse that are cheap but placed individually by the dozens and otherwise give you carpal tunnel to buy without addons. Good times :)

Same problem here, I select several and it seems random whether I'll get the selected item or not when I hit Take Selected. The only sure way to get what I select is to select 1 at a time - which kind of defeats the point of the feature.

Something odd that happens whenever I use the "Take Selected" (TS) option: It will take some of the items I selected, then the other items will become unselected and it will just stop.

It's really a HACK, but it gets rid of the error. The problem (I think) is that sorting by Qty sometimes shows Gold amounts (string) and sometimes shows Qty (Number). After applying this hack your error goes away, but the sort by Qty function still doesn't work. :)

a = type(a) == nil and "0" or type(a) == "boolean" and tostring(a) or a
b = type(b) == nil and "0" or type(b) == "boolean" and tostring(b) or b
if type(a) ~= type(b) then
a = tostring(a)
b = tostring(b)
end
