Note: Public or private containers for pickup or delivery of mail. For rented compartments in officially designated post offices, use "post-office boxes." The term formerly referred to boxes in which the mailbags were placed on a mail coach or steamer. In British usage, "mailboxes" typically refers specifically to such containers placed on a pole or post on a person's property, while "letter-boxes" typically refers to the larger boxes located in public places.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 指用來收信或投遞信件的公共或私人箱具。至於向郵局租借的信箱，則稱之為「郵政信箱」。「郵箱」一詞原指郵車或郵船上放置郵袋的箱子。在英式用法裡，「郵箱」通常指在私人地產上，架於柱子上者，而「郵筒」則通常指置於公共場所體積較大者。 |
| Dutch ..... Wordt gebruikt voor zowel openbare als privé-bussen voor het ophalen en afleveren van post. Gebruik 'postbussen' voor gehuurde compartimenten in officieel daarvoor bestemde postkantoren. |
| Spanish ..... Úsese para cajas públicas y privadas para recoger y distribuir correo. Para compartimientos alquilados en oficinas de correos oficialmente designados, usar "casilla postal." |
