| definition 2: |
A mailbox is a container used for holding mail. It is where people can pick up the mail that has been delivered to them. Sometimes a mailbox is outside someone's house or apartment building sitting on top of a post. In some apartment buildings, people's mailboxes are sections of a larger container built into a wall. In many places, people can use their mailboxes to send things to other people, but in some places, like large cities, the boxes are only used for deliveries.
