About MailOpener
I just took over this project from Zerotorescue — as it was apparently abandoned — with the intent of bring it back up-to-date for WoW5. Hopefully I'll have an updated release out in a couple of weeks.
If you've got any bug reports or patches please file them in the curseforge tracker or email zach-curse@kotlarek.com and I'll get them rolled into the mainline project. Currently my plan is just bring everything up-to-date, but I'd be happy to hear about feature requests/etc. if you've got them. I'd also be happy to take other developers if anyone is interested.
Also if anyone knows how to get in touch with Zerotorescue (or knows authoritatively that he doesn't care about this addon anymore) let me know; I don't mean to steal his glory.
Automatically opens every single mail in your mailbox without requiring any effort.
Please report issues and suggestions/requests here, I will try to process and respond to them all.

Slash Commands
You can use
/mo c (short for /mailopener config) to open the config frame.Time and mail remaining
Mail Opener will give a nice indication of the amount of mail remaining in your mailbox and the estimated time required to open everything. This will look like the following (this first number indicates the amount of mail currently visible, the second indicates the total amount of mail remaining):
46/1905 mail remaining, opening everything will take about 38 minutes and 32 seconds (next refresh in 55 seconds)
Filters
The following filters are available, toggling these off will no longer auto loot them, toggling them on will auto open them:
- Auction canceled
- Auction expired
- Outbid on auction
- Auction successful
- Auction won
- Player sent mail with attachments
- Player sent mail with gold
You can also toggle the notifications for mail for every single filter.
Stackable items
Some items which can stack a lot (such as Glyphs, Vellums, Scrolls and such) may get your mailbox and inventory completely full. Other mail opening mods will always quit opening mail as soon as it first detected your bags are full, but Mail Opener has an option to continue trying to open mail containing stackable items.
Example: Imagine standing at your mailbox with bags full of glyphs. The first glyph MO tries to open may not be between the ones already in your bags, causing the "inventory is full" error to trigger, however all 49 other glyphs in your mailbox can all still fill stacks in your bags. With this option enabled (which can be found in the general options and is disabled by default), MO will loot all 49 glyphs and then wait until the next refresh.
Keep Free Space
You can set an amount of bag space which you wish to reserve when opening mail. E.g. if you set this to 5, Mail Opener will always keep at least 5 empty bag slots available.
Notifications
You can toggle text notifications in the chat frame for every single type of mail. There are also two sound notifications available, one to let you know when your inventory is full, and one to let you know when no more mail can be opened. These sound notifications will become extremely handy when you are opening hundreds of mail while browsing, watching a movie or anything else outside of WoW.
"Collected" module
The collected module can keep track of gold gained, items gained, mail opened and time spent at the mailbox.
Quick Auctions 3 support
Mail Opener supports Quick Auction's auto mail and will automatically try to disable it when Mail Opener stats to open mail and re-enable it when MO is done in order to solve a bug in the QuickAuctions addon which used to cause random items to be send to random characters. You can further configure this behavior on the general options.
Postal support
Mail Opener allows you to keep Postal enabled while running by toggling Postal's opening modules off. This will allow you to continue using Postal's sending functionality while having Mail Opener handle all the mail opening.
Profiles
You can make multiple profiles to use different settings for different characters. You may want your auction house bankers to withdraw every single item from the mail, including normal mail sent by other players which contain attachments, while your level 80 characters only open auction house mail. Just an example, anything is possible. :)

v1.1.1 Zerotorescue Sun, 12 Sep 2010 01:30:00 +0200

v1.0.2 Zerotorescue Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:00:00 +0200

v1.0.0 Zerotorescue Thu, 09 Sep 2010 18:00:00 +0200
+ complete rewrite to make MailOpener a stand-alone addon.
MailOpener will no longer let Postal do the opening but rather do it by itself. You can change the configuration at the interface -> addons options or by opening the option interface with /mo c (/mailopener config). You can still leave Postal enabled for it's mail sending modules but there is no reason to leave it on for the mail opening.
See the addon page for more information.

Comments
I've kept the last version alive on my account, but it hasn't been pretty. I'd love to see a proper update.
I just took this project over. If you've got updates I'd be happy to port them into the official release. The base functionality seems mostly intact but I've only just started testing all the addon interactions and whatnot.
update for 5.0.4 please!
when do we seethe 5.0.4 version?
Hey, nice addon guys
but im missing the function to choose the message output window/channel. It would be nice if you could add this in the next version
I'm totally freaking out right now!! I depleted my gold while training blacksmithing to around 3gold and logged off last night. this morning my friend suggested i get an addon to allow me to not have to click each mail to open it. so i got 'Mailopener'. Logged onto game and opened mailbox. all my mail instantly opened and went to my bags.. YEA, right? Well, no... I saw several scroll of AH money move up in the inbox as everything was opened. they themselves were opened/looted. but my gold balance did not change!!!!! WTF!!!?!?!! i thot id give it some time and come back to inbox and i saw more expired AH items and a few moer scrolls of gold open up by this addon and still... my balance did not go up!!! I'm so pissed right now!! Where the !@#$ is my money?!?!?! now mailbox is empty. and my balance is still unchanged and the mpney apparently vanished into thin Fu!@#$g air!!! PEOPLE!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS ADDON! i submitted ticket to GM. Lets hope i recover the lost money.. as a side note, told my friend wtf happened and he lol'd and told me i shuddve got 'Postal' addon! Now he tells me!!! !@#$!!!!!!!!
The addon doesn't delete any messages by itself, the only way messages can be deleted is when the server registers that the messages have been completely emptied and it automatically removes them (e.g. auction mail or mail without a message body). Item/gold looting happens before that and in no case will MailOpener be solely responsible for losing any mail or items.
As Popo51 mentioned the server might fall behind on updating your current gold/item standing to your client (although this is the first time I have heard of it, it is very plausible). A relog or /reload should force an update.
The addon DOES take the Gold just the speed of the addon is too fast for the server to realise you've taken the gold at first i was like you but i then realised this it happens with any Postal addon even the Addon Postal has this issue too its based around the Server NOT the addon. Simply do not blame the addon for its speed blame the blizzard servers for been slow at responding.
Please update this add-on to be compatible with 4.3, I enjoy using this program a lot and would like to continue its use in the future. Thank you!
So long as the addon isn't broken in any way, I feel there is no need to push an update. If you wish to continue to use the addon you will have to enable "Use out of date addons" in your addon selection screen during character selection.
I can click on the letter to delete it though.
How can i correct this so it does not leave a blank letter?
If you slow down the opening speed this should occur less often. It really depends on your server latency (which usually fluctuates) and by default MailOpener is setup at an interval of 50ms which may not be fast enough for your client to send/receive updates.
The setting can be found at the Mail Opener config -> Open All -> the last option called "Opening Speed" / "Open single mail interval".
