Turns your mailbox into another bank, plus a whole lot more.

With Bulk Mail Inbox and Bulk Mail, I can use my mailbox as an unlimited-slot bank. The one problem is that you will run into a full mailbox issue, where you cannot see the attachments of backlogged mails until you empty out your current stuff. This is an intentional limitation in the game. Nothing is ever deleted or lost until it reaches its normal mail expiry date.

Though I first thought I had never lost items or gold, I do think I’ve lost items but hadn’t nailed the problem down. I thought I was being too stupid to double-check after typing. I still do trust it.

• 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.

• Mark multiple items to take without taking all.

TODO – Old notes ∞

nutcounter update ∞

my edit, tested and works 2016-04-22 on whatever I have installed and has been hacked/updated.

www.wowace.com/projects/bulkmail-inbox/?comment=38

For anyone using tekkub’s NutCounter, to move the pane to the right so it’s not overtop of the nuts/shiny/all block, you can make a change to BulkMailInbox.lua

tooltip:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", UIParent, "TOPLEFT", MailFrame:GetRight()*MailFrame:GetScale()/scale, -offx/scale)

->

tooltip:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", UIParent, "TOPLEFT", ( MailFrame:GetRight()*MailFrame:GetScale()/scale ) + 60, -offx/scale)

fix libraries ∞

TODO – re-test

www.wowace.com/projects/bulkmail-inbox/?comment=40

I have tentatively resolved errors with BulkMail2/BulkMail2Inbox when opening the mailbox by updating some of the ace libraries. I downloaded the (as of now) latest ace release and replaced the following directories:

www.wowace.com/projects/ace3/files/703458

• AceTimer-3.0
• AceEvent-3.0

• CallbackHandler-1.0

unconfirmed ∞

BulkMailInbox/BulkMailInbox.lua

www.wowace.com/projects/bulkmail-inbox/?comment=111

local offx = math.min[  ]+barHeight

->

local offx = (uiHeight - tipHeight - barHeight)/2+barHeight
if (MailFrame:GetTop()) ~= nil then
  offx = math.min(offx, uiHeight + 12 - MailFrame:GetTop()*MailFrame:GetScale()+barHeight)
end
local mailRight = 0
if (MailFrame:GetRight()) ~= nil then
  mailRight = MailFrame:GetRight()
end

attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value ∞

Interface\AddOns\BulkMail2Inbox\BulkMailInbox.lua:913: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

this is probably the wrong thing to do:

local offx = math.min[  ]+barHeight

->

local offx = math.min[  ]

2014-07-07 or earlier ∞

Moving its initial position to the right (60 px) so it’s out of the way of Bean Counter.

Modify BulkMailInbox.lua and change:

tooltip:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", UIParent, "TOPLEFT", MailFrame:GetRight()*MailFrame:GetScale()/scale, -offx/scale)
=>
tooltip:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", UIParent, "TOPLEFT", ( MailFrame:GetRight()*MailFrame:GetScale()/scale ) + 60, -offx/scale)
