MailLogger - Trade & Mail History for WoW Classic

Never forget a trade or in-game mail again! MailLogger records every transaction's sender, items, and gold — so you always know who sent what and when.

Whether you're a guild banker, a crafter handling commission work, or just someone who wants to keep track of trades and deliveries, MailLogger gives you a clean, searchable history of every trade and mail you've sent or received.

Project History

MailLogger was originally created by Aoikaze and maintained through version 2.1.2. The addon gained a loyal following for its clean approach to trade and mail logging in Classic WoW. After being abandoned, it has been picked up and significantly improved by Pimptasty, with a focus on stability, usability, and multi-version support.

Version 2.1.3 brings the addon fully up to date with modern Classic clients, fixes numerous long-standing bugs, and introduces a range of quality-of-life improvements requested by the community.

Core Features

Comprehensive Transaction Logging

• Trade Logging: Records every trade — who you traded with, what items were exchanged, and how much gold changed hands
• Mail Logging: Tracks all sent and received mail, including attached items, gold, and the sender/recipient name
• Sent & Received Views: Quickly filter to see only what you sent or only what you received
• Log Retention: Configure how many days of history to keep, or enable "Log Every Day" to keep everything forever

Intuitive Log Viewer

• Tabbed Filtering: Switch instantly between All, Trades, Mails, Sent, and Received views
• Calendar Filter: Filter your log by date using the built-in calendar — find exactly when a trade happened
• Alt Filtering: Use the Sift button to filter the log by a specific character — perfect for players with multiple alts
• Persistent Window Positions: Both the log and settings windows remember their position across sessions

Minimap Button

• Left-Click: Open the main log window
• Right-Click: Open the settings window
• Shift+Right-Click: Reset the minimap button position
• Mouse-Over Tooltip: Quick summary of available commands
• Button position is saved across sessions and can be toggled on/off in settings

Whisper & Broadcast Options

• Enable Whisper: Automatically sends a whisper to your trade partner when a trade completes, notifying them that the transaction was logged
• Send to Public: Broadcasts trade summaries to your current group channel — Raid, Party, Instance, or Say if solo

Settings & Customization

Custom Item Filters

MailLogger ships with a built-in permanent ignore list covering consumables you'd never want to log:

• All ranks of Conjured food and water (mage consumables)
• All ranks of Healthstones (warlock consumables)

In addition, you can add your own custom item filters through the Settings window. Items on the custom list are silently excluded from all trade logging. Add items by typing the exact name or by dragging them directly from your bags onto the input box for guaranteed accuracy.

Alt Management

• All characters on your account that have used MailLogger are tracked automatically
• Switch between alts using the dropdown in both the log and settings windows
• Print Logs: Print the log for a specific alt to chat
• Print All: Print logs for all alts to chat
• Wipe: Clear saved log data for a specific character
• Wipe All: Clear saved log data for all characters
