I’ve never had to use a mail addon before. This was mostly due to the fact that I didn’t use the auction house very much. No one likes to send me anything either sadly. I mean really, who uses mail anymore? We have things like Ventrilo, guild chat and so forth that there’s just no point in using mail. Koriel was one of many players who recommended the Postal addon.

But I digress!

After leveling my Paladin to 80, I immediately set my sights towards becoming an auction housing machine. I realized early on that manually clicking and retrieving things out of the mail box was going to be the biggest hassle. I fired out a tweet looking for mail addons desperately hoping that somewhere out there someone could help me.

For the fresh auction house junkie, it even displays the total amount you’ve received from the different attachments in one session. It has the ability to open every attachments or just some attachments (done via check boxes).

I’ll panic every once in a while when sending mail to alts especially when they contain large sums of money. I’ll second guess who I send hundreds of Cobalt or Saronite bars too. Postal’s got that covered as it will auto complete names of your alts, players that you’ve recently sent mail to in addition to autocompleting names on your friends or guild list.

The trade block option is nice. I don’t get very many people opening trade with me when I’m at the mailbox. That seems to happen a lot primarily in front of banks.

I’m also digging the short cuts. I haven’t gotten into the hang of using them yet, so I’ll need to start making a habit of using the Shift-Click (takes items or money from mail).

Perhaps the satisfying thing is an auto-complete form on the subject line when simply sending out currency. Now I don’t have to irritably type asdf in the subject area.
