letter boxes

Mail deposit slots

Letter boxes are slots or containers for receiving mail.

In British usage, a letter box is typically a slot in a door or a public pillar box for posting letters.

In American usage, the term is less common than mailbox.

Letter-boxing also refers to displaying widescreen films with black bars above and below to preserve the original aspect ratio: The movie was letter-boxed for home video.
