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. |
| German ..... Privater oder öffentlich zugänglicher Behälter zum Abholen oder Zustellen der Post.
Für ein gemietetes Fach in Postämtern, verwende "Postfach".
Der Ausdruck bezog sich früher auf Kästen auf einer Postkutsche oder einem Dampfschiff, in denen der Postsack gelagert wurde. |
| Spanish ..... Úsese para cajas públicas y privadas para recoger y distribuir correo. Para compartimientos alquilados en oficinas de correos oficialmente designados, usar "casilla postal." |
