Does this addon exist?

Hortator Indoril Nerevar · May 2022

Alright so...

Is there a addon which deletes mail you receive from the game without looting it? Let me explain why in more detail. I have one item not collected in my sticky book from vDSA. If I get the weekly reward for vDSA and it sends me that item I will not want to loot it as it would locked that item. I want to keep it as the only item I haven't collected so its a 100% drop. What can I do to avoid this? I hope someone has made a addon which removes that mail without taking the loot.

Anyone know?

I highly doubt such an addon exists, considering it's pretty much impossible to delete mail with items in it aside from that mail expiring, and mail is a server-side deal, I don't think it would be as simple as modifying the UI.
I'm not gonna ask for what reason you want to keep that item outside of your stickerbook, because we all know why.

Besides, I'm not even sure weekly rewards, leaderboards, or pretty much anything that comes through the mail uses curated loot, so...

Coffers don't have curated drops and you can't delete a mail without looting it first. If you want to not have the weapon, do not take the attachment, just leave it there and it will delete itself in 30 days.

No addons that I'm aware of. I've never tried it but you can try to use DeleteMail API function, it has force delete option as a second parameter which may (or may not :x) work with mails containing attachments:

/script DeleteMail(mailId, true)

To get specific mailId you need to use GetNextMailId function. Using

/script d(GetNextMailId(nil))

will print the ID of the first message in your inbox to the chat. Then you pass that id to the next call of GetNextMailId to get next message and you repeat that till you get to the message you want to remove. (ofc it's way easier if the DSA mail is the only one in your inbox, then you can call GetNextMailId(nil) to get its id and pass it to DeleteMail).

If you don't want to deal with writing API functions in the chat you can just wait 30 days, the mail will get removed automatically.

Greetings,

This thread has been moved to the Add-Ons & UI Mods section, as it is better suited there.

Thanks
