help with protecting items / force mail list

[thredworm]

ok, i read up on how to add items to the "protected items" list but im still a bit unclear on how to make my bot mail things out to my mail recipient. i understand how to put it in the forcemail list and that it needs the item id #/name.

does it also need to be in the protected items list as well? or can i just list things in the forcemail section that i want mailed off?

also- can i just edit the lists in each profile? or do i need to add said items to the general protected items list in HB?

help a noob here if you can

No, protected items don't get mailed. That's the whole idea. You don't want your Hunter to mail his ammo to your bank alt...

This is the relevant code in a profile that controls mailing and vendoring of items:

  <SellGrey>True</SellGrey>
  <SellWhite>False</SellWhite>
  <SellGreen>False</SellGreen>
  <SellBlue>False</SellBlue>
  <SellPurple>False</SellPurple>
  <MailWhite>True</MailWhite>
  <MailGreen>True</MailGreen>
  <MailBlue>True</MailBlue>
  <MailPurple>True</MailPurple>

As you can see, I'm vendoring greys and mailing everything else to my mail alt (that you set in HonorBuddy).

Think of the protected item list as a way to "keep these items in my inventory, don't send them or sell them".
