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.''
== Description ==
You can send mail to other players in the game via spirit containers which have been enchanted by priests/priestesses of Fo or Libila with the spells [[courierCourier]] or [[Dark Messenger|dark messenger]] respectively.
Mailboxes do get damaged receive damage and can be destroyed by decay, causing the cast on it to disappear.
== Types of spirit containers ==
*[[Spirit cottage]] - ''masonry''
*[[Spirit castle]] - ''masonry''
 
==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 # Drop the item(s) into the any spirit container, then right-click the container, and select ''Send''. # There are two dialogs dialogues that you will to control how the items are sent. ## The first allows you to specify the name of the recipient, and what items should be send sent using C.O.D. (cash on delivery). It also allows to skip the second dialog. ## The second dialog 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.  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'''
== Receiving process ==
== Non-retrieved items ==
=== Same server ===
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.
=== Cross server ===If the recipient uses return-to-sender and the original sender does not pick up their mail the items within two weeks7 days, they are destroyed.
If the recipient uses return-a merchant disbands due to 3 months of inactivity of its owner, then their contents will be mailed to-sender and the original sender does not pick up the items within two weeks, they are destroyedowner 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 10 1 [[Bank of Wurm|copper]] per item if the receiver is on the for same server, or 20 copper per item if on another server. Crosscross-server mailing . The postage fee is currently limited to within taken from the [[Freedom|Freedom Isles]] ([[Independence]]bank account of the sender as the items are sent, [[Deliverance]]unless they are C.O.D., [[Exodus]], [[Celebration]], and [[Chaos]])in which case it is taken from the recipient when received.
The postage fee for an === Exceptions ===* An inscribed [[papyrus sheet]] or [[paper sheet]] is now only 1 [[Bank of Wurm|iron]] (formerly 40), even for cross-server deliveriesto mailThe postage fee is taken from the bank account of the sender * Combined items (such as the items are sent, unless they are C.O.D.metal lumps, in which case it is taken from the recipient when received. Items sent in containers still incur fees. Example : A [[backpack]] with 3 [[wood scrap]]s in it would cost you 4 x 10 copper (1x backpackscraps, 3x wood scrap) to send due to being counted as 4 separate items. Alsoliquids, combing items (e.g. lumpsetc) does not decrease the mailing cost, so a 4kg lump costs the same as 4x 1kg lumpsare 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).
* 31 - A bit more than one hour (estimate 70 minutes)Examples:* 48 - A bit less than one hour (estimate 55 1 power will take 100 minutes).* 63 - Less than one hours (estimate 35 to 40 50 power will take 51 minutes).* 78 - Less than 30 minutes (estimate 25 minutes)* 90 - Less than ten 99 power will take 2 minutes.* 99 - Less than ten minutes (2 minutes)101 or higher power will be instant.

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.
