Postman

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

4.0.1 Info

See the following page for info about 4.x and Cataclysm: http://my.curse.com/articles/speeddymon/848044.aspx

Intro

Postman is an addon which allows you to track mail delivery, keep a dropdown list of frequently mailed characters and more. The addon has been abandoned by the original author, and I was able to pick it up and get it working with Wrath as well as 3.0.8. This project should be considered inactive, however I will keep it working until I get it's successor, MailboxPlus, released.

At last: A sign that Speeddy still lives! I quit playing wow for the better part of 8 months. Things went from bad to worse. So I spend my time with my kids when I do see them and the rest of the time I was sitting around like a bum. I got tired of it so here I am. MailboxPlus development will resume momentarily; sans nagging wife.

Note from Speeddy: To those of you that appreciate my work, I must apologize. I know I have helped in many ways to make things easier, and bring back some addons that people adored.

Some recent events have caused me to reevaluate my priorities in life. I've spent the better part of the last 3 years working on characters on this game, and a good deal of that time was also invested in working on addons and other things on the computer. If you have seen the movie "Click" with Adam Sandler, you know what I'm thinking. If you haven't seen it, you should. It explains why I'm saying what I'm about to say. I have a 3 year old son and a 5 month old daughter that need me. Without any more to say, I am officially retiring from addon development.

That doesn't mean I won't still write addons, I'm just not going to be a full time author anymore. Addons will still be kept up to date, but it is going to be a LOT longer than originally anticipated before MailboxPlus is released.

I may still contribute here and there, but the majority of my time is going to be spent on trying to give my kids the attention they deserve.

I still get this error, when login into WoW.

I'm using a Mac and may some of you are able to solve this issue.

For those getting errors, make sure you are downloading from Curse. If you are, make sure there is a Libs folder under the Postman folder, and that the Libs folder has a LibAbacus-3.0 folder with a lib.xml file in it.

If that is not there, you will get errors related to LibAbacus-3.0

For the dropdown error, I am not experiencing any problem at all, even now.

@Dohram, Menaru, and LittleMaxi: Your error is a Postal error, not PostMAN

For those getting errors, make sure you have the addon LibAbacus-3.0 installed. This got rid of my errors.

This error appears to be due to a missing library. Open up C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\Postman\Libs and check if there is a LibAbacus-3.0 folder. If not, re-download the addon from curse directly, instead of any updater or any other site. Also make sure to completely remove the currently installed addon.

  I am getting a error. This is what happens when I log in to certain toons and sometimes all toons.
  Interface\AddOns\Postman\Postman.lua 16: Cannot find a library instance of "LibAbacus-3.0".
  I don't have Swatter or any debugging addons. So that is all that shows. I see somebody else has posted something about this error too. Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks

I updated from 3.2-beta, which appeared to be working fine, to 4.0 and lost the drop down functionality entirely. The down-arrow is present on my inbox, but it is non-functioning. The "Take All" and "Take Cash" buttons appear to be functioning normally ... except they do not appear to mark the mail as read before deleting, so the game still shows the New Mail icon even though my inbox is empty.

... as an addendum, I rolled back to 3.2-beta, and the drop down list of names is functioning normally again.
