Mailbox

In every game, a red Mailbox can be found outside the player's house. It is used as a place where letters from villagers from the player's town, a friend's town, the bellpoint, an item ordered from Tom Nook, the Happy Room Academy, the player's parents, and letters written by the player that have not yet been posted are stored. When a letter arrives, a blue signal with a small blinking letter will appear on the right-top of the mailbox and will make a faint beeping kind of sound when the player walks near it. Even though a player can enter another player's house, only the owner of the house can open the mailbox of their home.

In, letters can be found in a special part of the player's pockets by clicking a button at the top of the screen, but they must have been accessed here first. In all other versions, the mail is on the right-hand side in the pockets menu.

In, different forms of mailboxes will be available to buy from Tom Nook at the Real Estate Agency in a variety of different styles and colours.

In  Mario Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there is a trophy of a player on the side of a mailbox, jumping with a happy face.
