Photo without text. Someone has made a snowman around a mailbox post at a street curb. The snowman builder has used pebbles and sticks to make the facial expression look both scary and comical. The mailbox is open and appears like a mouth with a tongue sticking out.

#crochet #häkeln #Postbriefkasten #mailBox #letterbox #Post

A traditional red British post box, creatively adorned with a hand-crocheted grey and white cover featuring a fishing net pattern and fish motifs on top. The crochet work extends over the top and sides of the post box, adding a touch of community charm and artistic flair. The post box is situated outdoors in a car park, with a pharmacy and other shops visible in the background. Collection times and priority post labels are displayed on the front. A blue car is parked nearby, and the scene is set on a cloudy day.

ImapGoose look and feel real nice for syncing #IMAP #mailboxes:

I have had isync setup for the same task once, and tried a while back getting it set up again, but ran out of spoons. It's needlessly complicated for my needs.

ImapGooset is a pleasure, took me about 15 minutes to build and configure. What a joy.

Symbolische Briefkästen aus verschiedenen Ländern im #KlimahausBremerhaven ... und ein Bonusbriefkasten in Rheinbach 🤭 // Symbolic postboxes from different countries in the #Klimahaus museum in #Bremerhaven ... plus a bonus #letterBox in Rheinbach I found pretty funny. The sticker says "No junk mail or newspapers please! Unless beer is on sale"

#Postbriefkasten #mailBox #postBox #Post

A close-up of a metallic, wall-mounted letterbox, likely located outside a building with a reddish-brown wall. The letterbox is made of brushed stainless steel and features a small lock at the top centre. A white label with black and blue text is affixed to the front of the box. The text, written in German, reads:

*"Bitte keine Werbung oder Zeitung einwerfen! Es sei denn Bier ist im Angebot"*

This translates to: "Please do not insert any advertising or newspapers! Unless there is beer on offer." The letterbox has a slot for mail on the top and a lock, and the surface shows minor signs of wear and reflections.

The bell on a mailbox in Rüdesheim am Rhein (Hesse) is probably not intended for the mail carrier to ring when he has delivered the mail.

Old model mailbox
#Photography #SeattleWashington #MapleLeafNeighborhood #Mailboxes

A mailbox shaped like a cream-colored old-fashioned car with a long bonnet and spoked wheels graces the banister next to the porch steps.

evanston post office

the image shows a room with rows of uniform mailboxes lining the walls. In the center, there is a large, rectangular structure also made of metal boxes with locks. The room is well-lit with fluorescent lights, and the floor is shiny, reflecting the light above.

In this image, I aimed to explore the stark beauty of the post office, focusing on the shapes and contrasts present in the space. The geometric patterns of the mailboxes give a sense of order, while the dark surroundings evoke a feeling of introspection.

The image captures the interior of a post office, featuring a series of mailboxes organized neatly in a row. The space is stark and minimalistic, with a play of light and shadow creating a moody atmosphere. The walls are dark, contrasting sharply with the white forms of the mailboxes, which stand out in the foreground.

I've been saving up for a celebration of DIY mailboxes...

This one is sweet ...

#DonValleyWest #Toronto #mailboxes

A mailbox seen while canvassing in Toronto.

"[W]e followed the history in general of the Letter Receivers of NSW 1856 to 1890’s. The earliest Letter Receivers in NSW were made locally by Bubb & Sons Victoria Foundry from 1856 to 1867.

The locations of those found in 2011 have been recorded. From the 1970’s they have gradually been reducing in number, many going as scrap."

So it looks like spring loaded doors are prohibited in #mailboxes, but the door of a #microwave isn't spring loaded. The latch is.

More troublesome is "The carrier service door must operate freely and solely by pulling outward and downward
with a convenient handle or knob."

Aside from that i think could likely make it work (capacity, safety, inner/outer dimensions, weatherproof, security)

Rather than work that hard to modify a microwave though i figure I'll keep our existing mailbox as is. Still planning on safely disassembling our failing microwave and mounting it in the front yard. Maybe as a "free library" or something.

In related news, I'm annoyed that i legit read through the entire USPS-STD-7C standard for United States Postal Service Residential mailboxes. #USPS #Mail? What's wrong with me.

#MechanicalEngineering really is brain worms.

A photograph of a building facade of corrugated white-painted metal held up by thick brown-brick columns. Glass doors and windows are in shadow beneath an overhang, and signs read "Redwood Dental Group" and "For Lease Medical Space." A blue mailbox sits next to one of the columns. A green strip marks the top of the wall, and there is a blue sky beyond.
