For all my mail needs its gotta be Postal.
This addon has a great ‘Open All’ button on the mail window for getting all those AH posts into your bag in mere seconds. You can also set filters on the button if you don’t want to open everything. Plus is makes mailing things really easy with a dropdown menu u can add names to or just pull them off your friends/guild lists. (tip: there’s a setting to speed up the ‘Open All’ function in the preferences)

I’d also like to add that some might find EasyMail better than Sendself. I used to be a fan of SendSelf but it gotten kinda broken and bugged at one stage and I switched to EasyMail and its much, well easier!

One thing to note about GridAutoFrameSize – while this works (I use it) it seems to have a bug where it wont show pets. After a raid has filled up, I have to manually go into the Grid settings, uncheck and then recheck, the setting for Show Pets. For some reason it overrides this setting every time.

Not a huge deal, but when your wife is a hunter it can make for bad mojo!

@Grimtorn @Xabbat

The reason I use FriendShare over Friends with Benefits is because with FriendShare I have the option to turn off the automatic addition of Alts to my friends list, and with Friends with Benefits there is no way to do that with editing the LUA. As an RPer, I have a very full list without my alts being on it, and I use SendSelf to add the full name of my alts to the auto-complete list at the mailbox with the added benefit of prioritizing my alts over my friends and guildmates.

@Tunza ARL’s large memory footprint is hard to avoid given its functionality. What it does is give you as complete a listing as possible of every recipe in the game complete with details on all the ways of obtaining each. That’s a lot of information to store. RecipeKnown works somewhat in reverse; it records recipes your characters currently know, and then highlights those while you’re shopping. It doesn’t have any “prior knowledge”, so to speak, about existing recipes. If you could somehow amass enough characters to have mastered every recipe for every profession, I imagine the memory usage of RecipeKnown would rival if not exceed that of ARL.

Wow – years of hoarding mods and there are still some that sneak past me.

I’m already in love with Farmit and I haven’t even downloaded it yet.

Recipeknown looks like a nice alternative to Akisrecipelist – hopefully with a lower memory footprint.

Great lists! I'm going to try a few out tonight when I get on. I found out this weekend that the newest version of Carbonite now includes a "Pal" list much like its previous "Punk" list. This Pal list will sync up all of your friends across any character you've logged on with while carbonite was active. Aurdonâ€™s last blog post..Finding new meaning to the words â€œbeing campedâ€.

@xabbott
I too am a fan of most if not all of Tekkub’s work. I’ll be covering “alternative” addons versus their commonplace counterparts soon.
