==Description==You can send mail to other players in the game via [[spirit cottage]]s and [[spirit house]]s containers which have been enchanted by priests/priestesses of Fo or Libila with the spells [[Courier]] or [[Dark Messengermessenger]] respectively.
==MethodTypes of spirit containers ==To send the mail, drop the item(s) into There is no difference in operation between the various spirit containers.*[[Spirit house]] - ''fine carpentry''*[[Spirit mansion]] - ''fine carpentry''*[[spirit Spirit cottage]] or - ''masonry''*[[spirit houseSpirit castle]], and then "send" the item. A window will come up asking for various details, such as if you want to send it COD (Cash On Delivery) and to whom you- ''masonry're sending. If sending multiple items you'll need to check the boxes for the items you wish to send.
== Sending process ==To send the mail, # Drop the item(s) into any spirit container, then right-click the container, and select ''Send''. # There are two dialogues that will control how the items are sent. ## The shipping charge used first allows you to specify the name of the recipient, and what items should be 1s per itemsent using C. But have recently been changed toO.D.(cash on delivery).Within It also allows to skip the same server 10c / each itemsecond dialog. ## The second dialogue allows you to see how much the delivery charge will be, and to specify the C.O.D.Crossing servers 20c / each itemamount you will charge the recipient if applicable.
You also have the option to return the items to the sender.
== Non-retrieved items ==
If the recipient does not pick up their mail within two weeks, they are automatically returned-to-sender.
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>
'''If you are sending something valuable, ensure that the recipient is available to pick it up before you send it. If you return an item to the sender, it would be good manners to contact them to ensure they retrieve it before the two week deadline.'''
== Postage charges ==
The postage is 1 [[Bank of Wurm|copper]] per item for same or cross-server mailing. 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.

* 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, based on the power of the enchant of the sending [[mailbox]].
the timer is 101 minus power in minutes.

==Additional Uses of Mailboxes==
Mailboxes can be right-clicked on to access the [[Jackal#Jackal_points_and_rewards|Jackal points shop]] and the [[Rift points shop]].
== Notes ==
Items sent in containers still incur fees. Example : A [[backpack]] with 3 [[wood scrap]]s in it would cost you 4 x 1 copper (1x backpack, 3x wood scrap) to send due to being counted as 4 separate items. However, combining items (e.g. lumps) does decrease the mailing cost - combined items that are mailed will cost 1 copper per 5 kg, so a 5kg lump costs the same as one 1 kg lump.
