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.
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.

Ehala Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:44:19I use both Postal and Postman since each of them have different features and they work together. Unfortunately there are a couple of things in Postman which aren't working now with WoW 3.0.2 (such as the drop down arrow and dejavu function), but some features are still working. I'll continue using it until an updated version is released (I hope!!).
I wish I could tell you more about what each of the addons does, but I've used them both so long that I'm not sure which addon is giving me which features. I do know that I need both to get all the features I want. hope this helps! :D

RLD Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:29:58Personaly, this is a lot easier for me. A lot fewer mouse clicks. I have 9 alts that I transfer stuff back and forth from/to. All I have to do with this addon is right click and it automatically takes the mail contents w/o opening the mail. I don't want to have to shift/ctrl click to take the contents of the mail. I already know whats in the mail; if I don't I can left click to open it like normal. Works even with multiple attachments.

P.S. Please keep updating it. Currently having issues with drop down in 3.0.2 and doesn't save the ppl you add to the dejavu function.
