Bulk Mail Inbox

Inbox Item Searching

Addon Support Statement

Hello everyone. I'm no longer actively playing World of Warcraft (and haven't for many months). I'm looking for someone to take over maintenance of my addons. If you're interested, and have at least one released addon, send me a message at neotron+curse@gmail.com

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.

    Guys, the 'Take Selected' functionality of this addon has been rendered useless until bug #19 is fixed. The re-ordering of the list and some failed matching between list ordinal number and mail item ID have made it so that the Take Selected only takes about half of the items. Hoping this gets a review soon.

    I am having the same issue with Take Selected Items. It has been that way since I installed your addon. Sometimes it will take 3 or 4 items and sometimes it will only take 1.

    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

    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!

    @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.

    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.

    I've fixed the issue in the alpha but the packager is currently dead so I can't make a new release (even alpha).

    Ahh, ok this sheds some light on your end of things. Icons are off the list then, doesn't matter anyway. The more I use this mod the more I like it.

    Page size; since I didn't have a mailbox over 130 lines, I didn't get to experience the performance losses fully. Clearly 200 or 300 lines will be out of the question then, and I fully understand where you're coming from with the page size now. You were ahead of me the whole time.

    I'll go back and set my page to 100 lines and play with scroll speeds some more and quit harping on you for a 600 line inbox :)

    I also just discovered that the search goes beyond the first page, negating some of the back-and-forth page switching, that really is a nice addition to this mod. Nice move.

    Yes, by saying item limit I meant 50 x 12, I shouldn't have used that phrase.

    You've done a great job on this, a re-write was much needed and I'm sure a lot of people appreciate it. Your fast attention to suggestions is impressive too, I know you have other things on your plate :) Thank you sir. /cheers

    Edit: I just looked at your profile, I'm a big fan of Button Bin, Golden Ticket, and Magic Looter to name 3 real fast. Awesome stuff. Triple my previous thanks to you.

    • Icon size: This is currently determined fully by the size of the text (it's inline). By default, the icons are in fact smaller than the Ace2 version.
    • Font size: Yeah, I can change that.
    • Paging: I can make the page stepping configurable easily.
    • Page size: Unfortunately the page size is currently set to 100 since over that (and even at that size) performance in LibQTip starts to suffer significantly. If LibQTip is fixed, pagination really isn't needed but right now it absolutely is. With 450ish items it took 10 seconds to open the dialog, sort it etc, which is clearly unacceptable. Fixing this would require some significant refactoring in LibQTip's placement of cells (or anchoring rather). It's not easy. I CAN make it configurable but raising it much higher starts to exponentially degrade the redraw performance. To clarify, it took 2ms to add the first 20 items and 1 _SECOND_ to add item 420-440. This is on a Core i7 so it's not exactly a slow computer.
    • Item limit: You mean the max number of items able to be shown at once (50 mails, 12 items)?
