About MailNotifier

Overview

MailNotifier is a small addon that has two purposes: tracking how many unread mails the player has in the inbox and alerting him when new mail is received (plays a sound and flashes the minimap mail button).

Features

  • Tracks how many unread mails the player has in the inbox
  • Alerts the player when new mail is received
  • No configuration needed

Limitations

Except when the player visits the inbox, it's impossible to know exactly how many unread mails he has. This is why Mail Notifier can only detect mails received while playing, and by comparing the mail senders list at login (ex: If you have 1 sender when you logout and 3 when you login, obviously you have at least received 2 more mails).

    MailNotifier Launcher does not quite work properly. It only notifies of new mail when you hover over the addon which isn't so useful.

    The line in error is : Launcher:OnMailChanged(0) whereas it should be Launcher:OnMailChanged(*Number of New Mail*). I'm not sure what to pass to the function to determine the Number of New Mail though. Can you advise?

    That line has nothing to do with the error. The number of mails is only available after the saved variables has been loaded, and not at startup.
    The problem is most likely related with the interaction with the display.

    Which display are you using?

    I'm not sure what you mean by which display I am using. I am using Titan Panel.

    When I change Launcher:OnMailChanged(0) to Launcher:OnMailChanged(1) (or in fact any number) then it does display that I have new mail. To me it seems that the number of mail items in the mailbox needs to be passed to the "Launcher:OnMailChanged" function to allow it to display. Otherwise the function will always determine that there are 0 mails in the mailbox.

    Option to adjust the sound volume would be nice. Or even set to silent mode so it wouldn't disturb raiding.

    That's a good idea, but, instead, I'm going to see if it is possible to make MailNotifier "smart", to not disturb while fighting.

    I have Fr localization for you :

    For mail notifier :

    L.HaveMail = 'Vous avez %s message non lu'
    L.HaveMails = 'Vous avez %s messages non lus'
    L.From = ' de:'

    And for MailNotifier_Laucher

    L.LauncherError = "Ne peux pas charger MailNotifier Launcher car votre version de MailNotifier n'est plus a jour. Merci de télécharger MailNotifier-%s"
    L.NoMail = 'Pas de messages'
    L.Mails = ' Messages'
    L.Mail = ' Message'

    I think the translate is ok, but i'm not sure =P

    Also, i'ts a good add-on !

    Thank you! Lately I've received many translations! (chinese, spanish, and now french!) This will be added right in the next version (for WoW 3.2).
    I will add you as a translator and a "thank you note" in the description.

    If you wish, there are 2 more strings which could be translated. You can add them trough the CurseForge translation engine (no need to add the ones you already posted):

    That's is one of the ideas I've been thinking about lately, but I'm still mot sure if will implement it.
    Meanwhile, you can do the following: go to your "Addons" directory and open MailNotifier's folder. There, replace the "NewMail.wav" file for your own (don't forget to rename it "NewMail.wav")

    There is one weird anomaly with Mail Notifier. If I use Postal to automatically open mail, the notifier does not go away after the last mail item has been read. I end up having zero items in my mailbox, but the mail icon does not go away. I usually have to reopen my mailbox a few minutes later for Mail Notifier to realize that I have no more mail. This may be due to how Postal or other bulk mail addons work. However, I thought it worth mentioning.

    Mailcounter seems to be deleting messages that contain no attachments. is this a changeable feature or is it just still buggy?
