First up, sorry for the lack of formatting, I wrote this on an iPhone.
Yes, I know there is already a thread like this, but my idea is different. Hence this thread.
The MAIL BOX
Ok, so the first part of this suggestion is the mail box. When placed it is two blocks tall, with a long pole on the bottom block like the pole on a sign. The top part has a long dome shape made of wood planks with a small (colored) flag pointed frontwards on its side. This will slide upwards when anything is placed in the mail box. The GUI has 12 slots beneath the word Letters and 6 beneath the word Packages. The crafting recipe would consist of
Nothing stick wool
Nothing planks nothing
nothing stick nothing
The ENVELOPE & MAIL
The envelope & mail is the main item in this suggestion. It worked similarly to the book & quill, except the GUI appears as a price of paper. When signed, the envelope closes. An EnderliveryMan teleports over and grabs your mail. When signing you must specify a player name. If he has a registered inbox, it will deliver.
Well I have to go so that's all for now, but I will flesh this out more later.
I don't even get the purpose of this suggestion. Like the above said, we already have a system of sending private messages to specific players that is much easier than having to make a mailbox and having an Enderman take it to them.

Wait then, so how do you do this proposed way of sending private messages that already exists? /mail is a plugin, and this is a way to do it without plugins. If you mean /whisper, well that doesn't work on offline players. I am really lost on what you mean.

Well, it certainly shouldn't be as complicated as having to make a mailbox and needing an Enderman to carry it to the other player.
Why not? It seems quite intuitive. It also helps to reduce the usage of commands in Survival mode. Although, personally I dislike the actual design of the mailbox since it seems far too odd.
I think it's interesting. It would certainly be a nice touch to survival multiplayer. Not only that, but having a mailbox outside your house would look pretty cool. However, I don't think I really like the enderman idea. I'm not sure how the letters would be delivered - maybe just make it deliver automatically (without the help of an enderman)? I'm not sure... Anyway, partial support.

The Enderman is just eye candy. He sorta just shows up to take your mail. You don't actually need an Enderman. Also, /mail is a plugin. If that was your reason for no support, then play more vanilla.
