What is a "mailbox"?
A mailbox is a container used for receiving and storing mail, such as letters, packages, and newspapers. It is typically placed outside a home or building, near the entrance or along a street, and is often made of metal, wood, or plastic. Mailboxes have a door or flap that allows postal workers to insert mail, and some include a flag that can be raised to signal outgoing mail. They provide a convenient and secure place for receiving mail and are a common feature in residential areas.
