Quote from the Sending dialog : ''Use mailboxes with caution and inexpensive items until you rely on the spirits. They are still learning, and take no responsibility for lost items.''
You cannot send an item to a member of an enemy [[kingdom]] on [[Chaos]]. You get the message: "You may not trade with the enemy."
'''NOTICE: Items will be mailed to the server the recipient is currently present on. It can only be retrieved from that server.'''

== Description ==
You can send mail to other players in the game via spirit containers which have been enchanted by priests/priestesses of Fo, Nahjo or Libila with the spells [[courierCourier]] or [[Dark Messenger|dark messenger]].
Mailboxes do receive damage and can be destroyed by decay, causing the cast on it to disappear.

==Mail between servers==
* You cannot send an item to a member of an enemy [[kingdom]] on [[Chaos]] or on [[Epic]] servers. You get the message: "You may not trade with the enemy."
* You cannot send items between Freedom or Epic servers and the Jackal server.
* You cannot send items between North and South Freedom clusters.
* '''NOTICE: Items will be mailed to the server the recipient is currently present on. It can only be retrieved from that server.'''
== Sending process ==
To send the mail,
# Drop the item(s) into the any spirit container, then right-click the container, and select ''Send''.
# There are two dialogues that will control how the items are sent.
## The first allows you to specify the name of the recipient, and what items should be sent using C.O.D. (cash on delivery). It also allows to skip the second dialog.
## The second dialogue allows you to see how much the delivery charge will be, and to specify the C.O.D. amount you will charge the recipient if applicable.
== Receiving process ==
If the original sender does not pick up the returned items within two weeks, they are destroyed.
If the recipient uses return-to-sender and the original sender does not pick up the items within 7 days, they are destroyed. If a merchant disbands due to 3 months of inactivity of its owner, then their contents will be mailed to the owner with a 6 month expiry period.
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">'''There is no way to extract items from the mail system if you are not the recipient !'''</span>
== Postage charges ==
The postage is 1 [[Bank of Wurm|copper]] per item for same or cross-server mailing. Cross-server mailing is currently limited to within the [[Freedom|Freedom Isles]] ([[Independence]], [[Deliverance]], [[Exodus]], [[Celebration]], [[Xanadu]], [[Pristine]], [[Release]], and [[Chaos]]). The postage fee is taken from the bank account of the sender as the items are sent, unless they are C.O.D., in which case it is taken from the recipient when received.
=== Exceptions ===
* An inscribed [[papyrus sheet]] or [[paper sheet]] is 1 [[Bank of Wurm|iron]] to mail.
* Combined items (such as metal lumps, wood scraps, liquids, etc) are 1 copper per 5 kg.
== Delivery times ==
Any items sent via [[mailbox ]] have a predetermined time for mailing. The strength , based on the power of the enchant affects this (and appears to be of the sending [[mailbox]].the timer is 101 minus the cast strength power in minutes).
