Our addons Mailbox replacement
Absolute Mailbox.
Your mail, reimagined. A translucent, resizable mailbox that opens in place of the game's, starts compact and slides open to a full reading pane. Every sender gets a rating, risky gold asks before you take it, and blocked senders get their mail sent straight back.
Version 1.0.5 · one file for both WoW Forever and Retail.

What’s new in 1.0.5
- Confirmations always act on the right letter: Take the gold, Return, Block & return, Pay C.O.D. and Delete check the letter again when you click, and do nothing if it changed or left the inbox.
- Strangers stay strangers: Just receiving letters no longer makes a sender "Known", so a gold seller can't earn trust by sending several letters.
- Open All opens every letter: including many identical auction letters, and names keep their realm across your account.
- New emblem: A weathered blue mailbox with its red flag up, set in the gold Absolute medallion, on the minimap button, window, dialogs and addon list.
