AddOn Spotlight: CT_MailMod
This is a venerable piece of code, having been around WoW at least as long as I have. In general, the sprawling CT universe of AddOns has been remarkably persistent in staying around and staying updated. CT_RaidAssist gets all the glory, but other CT mods can be really handy. I find it crucial to keep an alt to mail things off to, and it would be a huge pain without CT_MailMod. It allows me to send off multiple items with one click, as shown in the screenshot: enter the recipient's name, alt-click all the items you want to send, hit "send", and you're done.It's got a second killer feature: mass opening of mail. You can click a check box next to each message in your inbox you want to open, and then just hit "open selected" to open all of them. There's also a button for "open all," but I tend to use my inbox as a storage area, so that doesn't get used much. By default, there's a confirmation box for any mass actions, so you don't accidentally send or open anything; this can be disabled in the CT preferences frame (which is very well done, by the way).
Apparently it's also CT_MM that gives me the functionality to alt-click an item with a player targeted to trade it to that player, or to alt-click with an Auction House window up to put the item up for auction. These features alone make CT_MM worth the download.
Download: I can't find a separate, updated download of CT_MM, but here's a link for the whole CTMod package, and you can just install the parts you want.

You can simply extract ONLY CT Mail Mod when you go to extract the files after download. That is the only CT Mod I am using POST TBC (so far).

Or just use the ace'd version named Gmail. :P

I really liked gmail, but from what i can tell, it's changing to 'Postal', which is also Ace2, but doesn't seem to have the mass mail option (yet?). i can't really find any info/forums to see what's going on and make suggestions.

I love alt clicking as a mage, to give food and water to people.
as my warlock, I'm a miner/skinner so my bags fill fast, I hit mass mail, and just clickclickclickclickclick all the stuff I wanna send to my bank. And I'm all empty. I LOVE mailmod. I ran modless for a month, and it was the only thing I missed.

I love this addon because it makes opening my mail simple and makes sending 15+ items a day to my bank alt for managable...

Absolutely indispensable addon! I have used this one for a long time. If you've ever had to mail more than one thing at a time then this one is for you.

Thanks Eliah. I wish I had known about this sooner. This mod could save me a ton of clicking. And "time is money, friend!"

CT_Mailmod actually has a smaller memory footprint than Postal, and as someone else mentioned the Mass Mail function is broken at the moment. I'm generally a fan of Ace2 addons, but in this case CT_Mailmod really does appear to be the best option at the moment.
