Postmaster Mail

PSA: silvereyes is no longer playing ESO, so this addon is being maintained by the Postmaster team.

Mail addon to simplify receiving and sending mail. Full gamepad support for inbox features.

Fork of Zierk's Postmaster.

Description

Postmaster Mail provides several features to simplify mail handling.

- Suppressing confirmation dialogs for deleting mail
- Suppressing confirmation dialogs for returning mail to sender
- Auto-return / bounce mail messages beginning with any of the following prefixes:

- RTS
- BOUNCE
- RETURN

Note: prefix matching is not case-sensitive, so "rts" and "Bounce" work as well.
- New keybind "Take" that takes attachments and deletes mail with a single keypress
- New keybind "Take All" that takes and optionally deletes multiple messages based on configuration rules (see below)
- For mail without attachments, remaps the Delete keybind to use the primary action key/button
- Keyboard UI only: adds a right click menu to recall recent text values for the following Send Mail text boxes:

- To / Recipient
- Subject
- Message body text

Note for Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Crafter users

Dolgobon's Lazy Writ Crafter has a feature to automatically take hireling mail attachments without any keypress. It is not Postmaster that does this. If you want to disable that feature, go to Settings > Addons > Lazy Writ Crafter > Time Savers > Hireling Mail Actions and set it to "nothing".

Dependencies

You must install the following libraries separately from this addon in order for it to work. I highly recommend using the Minion addon manager to simplify this process.

- LibChatMessage
- LibAddonMenu
- LibSavedVars
- LibLootSummary

Optional:

- For Send Mail features on keyboard: LibCustomMenu

Settings

General Options

- Automatic mail return
- Suppress delete confirmation prompts
- Suppress return to sender confirmation prompts

Keyboard Keybind Changes

- Primary (E): Take - Takes attachments and deletes the mail after looting.
- Primary (E): Delete (empty messages) - alternating Take and Delete uses the same key, for ease of use.
- Secondary (R): Take All takes and/or deletes all mail according to configured options
- Tertiary (F): Reply - opens the send mail screen and fills in the To: and Subject: fields. This is the same as the base-game default.
- Negative (X): Return to Sender or Cancel a Take All operation.
- Quaternery (T): Take by Subject or Take by Sender, if configured.

Gamepad Keybind Changes

- Primary (A): Take - Takes attachments and deletes the mail after looting.
- Primary (A): Delete (empty messages) - alternating Take and Delete doesn't require finger gymnastics

- Cancel Take All (B)
- Options (Y):

- Take by Subject
- Take by Sender

Bindings Options

Take By Subject Options

Take By Sender Options

Chat Messages Options
The following options customize the way the summary messages sent to the chat box appear.

- Use Default System Message Color: no special coloring. Just the default yellow.
- Chat Message Color: custom color messages

- Use Postmaster 3.8 Colored Prefix: In version 3.8, before color was customizable, the prefix looked like this: PM

- Loot History

- Loot History Summary: Enable/disable printing a summary of attachments taken by Postmaster in the chat box.
- Minimum Loot Quality: Only items with quality equal to or greater than this will be shown in the summary
- Show Loot Icons: Enable/disable showing icons of the items in the summary next to their item links
- Show Uncollected Sets Icons: If enabled, an icon will appear next to any item in the summary if it is not yet in your item sets sticker book.
- Icon Size: Increase or decrease the dimensions of icons in the summary
- Show Loot Trait Names: If enabled, gear with special traits (e.g. Divines, Training, etc.) will have the name of the trait displayed next to the item link in the summary.
- Hide Quantity for Single Items: excludes the quantity multiplier text (i.e. x1) for items that only had a single item of that type collected from attachments.
- Combine Repeated Items: If the same kind of item was picked up by Postmaster from multiple mail messages, the total number of items from all messages will be reported once. Otherwise, it will be reported separately for each message.
- Sort Order: determines how items in the summary are sorted.
- List Delimiter: determines what text separates item links in the list.
- Link Style: Either with or without square brackets around the link.

Compatibility

- Mostly translated to German, French, Japanese and Russian. Very special thanks to Scootworks, Llwydd and k0ta0uchi!
- Wykkyd Mailbox
- MailR - Revised
- MailBuddy

Known Issues

- A few of the warning messages still need translations, and some of the other translations are a bit rough. Any improvements to the translations would be welcome, if you want to send them on.

Future Feature Ideas

- Master Merchant integration for C.O.D. mail - don't pay C.O.D. missing MM data or that's a bad deal

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes Postmaster Mail by silvereyes. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on ESOUI on 26 October 2026: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info850-PostmasterMail.html

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.esoui.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

API VERSION

Built for ESO API version 10.0.0, 9.3.0, 9.2.5, 9.1.5, 9.0.0. After a patch the game marks add-ons built for the previous API as out of date; the "Allow out of date add-ons" checkbox in the add-on menu loads them anyway, and most work.

LIBRARIES

Many ESO add-ons depend on a shared library — LibAddonMenu-2.0 above all — which is installed separately, exactly like an add-on. A dependency that is missing shows as the add-on simply not appearing in the list.

CONSOLE

Add-ons are PC and Mac only. There is no way to load them on console.

1. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

2. Move the unzipped folder into your add-ons directory:

Windows — Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns

macOS — ~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns

3. Start the game, and at the character select screen click Add-Ons.

4. Tick the add-on. If it is greyed out and marked out of date, tick "Allow out of date add-ons" at the top of the same panel.

5. Log in. Most add-ons need a /reloadui after they are first enabled.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder first. ESO loads everything it finds, and two copies of one add-on is the usual cause of "an add-on has produced an error" on login.
