MailBuddy (Mail assistant/favorites) Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.6

by: Minceraft, Baertram

MailBuddy is NO "Return Bot"!
Please use "Postmaster" for a return bot and many more mail/attachment related features.

Important information 2023-05
MailBuddy won't be updated any longer!
Please use "FCO ChangeStuff" for similar mail favorite features.

Code:

It's too old and needs a total rewrite so I decided to add the similar functionality into FCO ChangeStuff.
Mail favorite recipients, subjects and texts, last used, last 10 used.
-> Already there within FCOChangeStuff and without a maximum number of favorites.
If necessary one could think about a submenu with A to M and N to Z favorites to make lists shorter.

Import of MailBuddy favorites is possible there!

Maybe I will add the friends list options that MailBuddy got there too, maybe not.
You can use MailBuddy as long as you wish and it works.

A simple add-on to help you with your mailing needs!
A must have helper for return mails.
If you want to attach all your stuff with 1 click to the mail & automatically send the mail afterwads, have a look at: DoItAll

This addon needs the following libraries installed as standalone versions:
LibAddonMenu-2.0
LibMediaProvider-1.0

New Update - Totaly rewritten addon for ESO version 1.6.5 with clean UI, more comfort, power & speed!
Now with multiple language support and character or account wide settings + new features
---------------
2 different layouts can be used now. Standard layout will add two edit fields left to the mail's recipient and subject name (old method)
Alternative layout will remove these edit boxes to keep the UI clean. You can show/hide them by right clicking the standard ESO mail recipient / subject edit box.

Several new features have been added:
-Added LAM 2.0 settings panel
-Remember last recipient & subject
-Always use the same recipient / subject
-Show number of total mails in inbox (next to unread mails) -> Excluding sent mails by "MailR" addon
-Show character-/accountname at the mail sent panel, above the recipient edit field
-Auto focus the recipient, subject or mail body field (depends on which field is still empty, and which field is filled already)
-Auto open the recipients list/subjects list on focussing the empty fields
-Button at the guild roster / friends list to show/hide the recipients list
-Remember the last state (shown/hidden) of the recipients list, at the mail send panel/friends list/guild roster
-Disable sounds
-For the old layout: Toggle visibility state of recipient or subject list by clicking the 2 edit boxes left to the recipient / subject fields

==========

Description/Example how to use:
MailBuddy is no Return Bot itsself!

The RETURN (or RTS, or BOUNCE) subject is only used for OTHER addons, like Wykkyd's Mail Return Bot or MailReturn.
You need to additionally install one of these addons at the recipient's account. If he/she will get mails with the subject RETURN, and opens his/her mailbox, the Mail return Bot will return the mails automatically.

MailBuddy is just the ther part at the sender side to speed up the mails, remind the last recipient and subject, etc. so you are able to quickly send several return mails right after each other.
In addition with the addon "DoItAll with FCO ItemSaver support" you could just open your mail sent panel, MailBuddy remembered your last recipient and subject, you press a keybind to "Attach all" items currently shown in your inventory (comes from DoItAll) and the mail will be send automatically (DoItAll settings) if it is full (or not, depends on your settings). You just need to confirm that the attachments will be sent.
Afterwards MailBuddy puts the recipient and subject in again for you (and if you have configured it in DoItAll) the next attachments will be automatically added and next mail will be sent automatically if the mail is full (if configured in DoItAll).

==========

Now the address book appears next to the Friends List & Guild Rosters when you open them, pretty neat!

Set a keybinding via Esc>Controls>Keybindings>MailBuddy>Copy Name !

When you mouse over a name on one of the lists press the button selected to copy the name to the selected page
on the address book! Working on one for the group list as well!

A BIG THANKS is going out to everyone who has contributed ideas or pointers
and also to everyone who has downloaded MailBuddy so far!

Anyone have any other ideas for functionality they'd like to see, just let me know

Fixed alternative layout not being able to click any icons (hard to find out but seems ZOs changed some XML controls and thus ZO_MailSendSubjectField could not be used as a parent any longer, but ZO_MailSendSubject, the backdrop and parent of that control, needs to be used now). Thanks votan for the hint to the right direction!

Info for the future plans: Mailbuddy might be discontinued in the future and integrated into the addon "Postmaster mail". Not sure when and if this is going to happen but the UI of Mailbuddy is very old and special so there will most likely be some easier list UI with more possible entries and newer code, as a kind of plugin. Only the alternative layout via right clicking the subject/recipients box will be used then though as the older layout of Mailbuddy is taking too much space and disturbs the eye.

I see that it complete automaticall name and RETURN if we want it, but it does not return automatically the mail after right ?

i tested and the mails keep staying in my husband mail box, i have to click on each and do the return myself

So is this because i do the settings wrong or because it does not do that ?

(i have actually MailReturn but unfortunatly if the return back works perfectly, we have to log off about 5 or 6 times to get it working, and to wait for the mails to be bounced for about 30min if we dont send some *push* mails to help the mails to arrive) - this one was desactivated when i tested yours

Thank you for the explanations

Update 2.4
-Fixed the "new mail" panel: If you had enabled the setting to remember last mail recipient the last recipient was also used, if you started to send a mail by using the mouse context menu at the chat/guild roster/friends.
If the recipient name is preGiven by the game now this one will be kept.
But the addon still will use your last subject and text if you have enabled this in the settings!

About that keybinding bug:
I can't fix this as I don't know how,sorry.
I don't use MasterMerchant and I won't use it so maybe you can ask the author of this addon to contact me if he knows how to fiy this.
I'm usng a normal PreHook to the MouseExit of the guild member row to remove the keybinding (copy name to MailBuddy) again.
If this somehow interfers with other addons it could be a keybindings bug with ZOS? Dunno, maybe someone else got an idea but I won#t follow this any further more due to time reasons, sorry.

I know another one has it but its currently broken, I see you update this one regularly and also the fewer addons the better but this is a very handy feature to have. Thanks for your efforts thus far with this addon.

No, this is not caused by MailBuddy. I get this error too sometimes and I think it got to do with the assert keybind error message at the mail panels, coming from the addon mixture of
-Wykkyds Mail return bot
-MailR
-and other mail addons

MailBuddy is ONLY addind own constructed controls at the mail send panel, and not at the inbox.
And it won't add or change any existing mail functions or keybindings. It is just reading and filling the subject, recipient and mail text fields.

but when i swap to Inbox i cant se any buttons to take or delete mail

its prob this addon?

after relog buttons appear
