A faster way to collect mail attachments?

ezmaye

Hi

Is there a faster way to collect mail attachments? At the moment I am having to go through each mail, collect item and delete mail.

I do a lot of flipping so this takes a significant amount of time with all the items I buy.

Surely there would be a way to collect all items and delete all mail quickly?

thanks

On a PC you can just spam E + X + E but don't know how consoles might work with that

There used to be an addon (on PC) called, "Mail Looter," I think. But, it's been broken for me for awhile. Might be worth pulling out and seeing if it works for you.

Postmaster might be able to

It's pretty similar on console.

On PS4, I'm pretty sure I can hit x + down a bunch of times to collect items, and then square + x a bunch of times to delete everything. If I don't actually want to read the mail, or selectively keep any messages, the process is really fast (there's essentially zero lag between steps).

Thinking about it now, I could probably also do x + square + x a bunch of times, but I've never tried it that way.

Yeah, that's the process on PC. I forget, the arrow keys might navigate between messages on PC, but it's easier to just spam out E (to take), X (to delete), E (to confirm deletion), E (to take again), X (again), E (to zone out), X (because you lost track and got out of order), E (because you noticed you derped up), X (to delete), E (to confirm deletion)... and so on.

If you are on PC you can use Postmaster Mail addon. It will give you a "Take All" option in mail window to take all your mail attachments and delete the mails for you. The types of mail this option will affect can be adjusted as you want in the addon's settings.

I receive like 60 hireling mails per day so this addon saves a ton of time and boredom for me. I just open the mail window and press one button.

Fun trivia: If you get over 72 Hireling mails in a single day... (or backed up in your mail for some reason) the game will not deliver the remaining mails until you clear your mailbox.

(I get somewhere slightly over 100.)

Funner Trivia: This isn't true. I thought that was the case for a long time, but I decided to test it one day where I was going to be away soon and didn't mind messing up the order on them. At least up to 90(5*18char) this isn't true, they still pop hidden under the extra messages AND they keep their timestamp from when they pop hidden. On the 18th character I had the 72 max showing, cleaned them up, and the remaining 18 all popped together with the time stamp of when I opened the mail window on the previous characters.

The only issue is that if you're cutting the time close you can't see if they pop or not, so you might miss them because you log in too soon, but not because of the full mailbox.

I have the same issue with Rewards for the Worthy clogging up my mail. There should be a take all/delete all option. Every eight hours of PvP equals an hour of taking the detachments then deleting the mails. Not to mention that I then have to open up all the RftW containers in my inventory and find a merchant so I can sell all the garbage set items they contain.
