mail slots
Letter delivery apertures
Mail slots are narrow openings in doors or walls through which letters and small packages can be delivered directly into a building.
Common in older homes and offices, they eliminate the need for an external mailbox: The mail slots in these Victorian rowhouses are barely wide enough for modern catalogs.
The term also describes the metal fixtures that frame such openings.
