The SL Colonies mailbox has been rebuilt from the ground up. Meet The Counting House: a new post office for every colonist, with a new mailbox to match. Write to anyone, enclose goods, set a price, and it’s waiting for them the next time they visit a mailbox, wherever they are on the grid.
Samuel’s walkthrough of the whole thing.
What’s new
- A brand-new mailbox. An oak post box with a shingle roof, brass slot and red flag, at about 1 land impact.
- Open it your way. Left-click and choose In HUD or In browser. One click, no owner menus, no settings.
- Every mailbox is a public post office. Collect your own mail at any mailbox on any sim, not just your own.
- See what’s in the post. Every item you’re sent shows with its picture, and every letter is tagged: Letter, Market, Payment, COD, how much is enclosed.
- Reply to any letter, with the name and subject filled in for you, and a Replied badge so you know what you’ve already answered.
- Mark unread keeps a letter in front of you until you’ve dealt with it.
- Take all collects every enclosure waiting for you in one press.
- Return to sender sends a player’s letter and its goods back.
- Enclose anything from your inventory, with a search and quantities, and set a cash-on-delivery price in coins.
- Market and vendor deliveries land here, clearly marked.
- Safer by design. Your mail opens only for you, from a mailbox you touched. Nobody else can read it, take from it or pay from it.
- It keeps itself up to date with the Mending Skep.
Cash on delivery: a trade route in every mailbox
Somebody asks your smith for clay jars. The smith makes them, posts them with a price, and gets paid when they’re collected. No meeting up, no vendor, no waiting for each other to log in.
Have an old mailbox?
The old mailboxes have stopped working. Bring yours to the retire counter at our store and you’ll get the new mailbox in return:
Teleport to the store (Noru)
Mail that was already waiting for you is still there: open any new mailbox to find it.
Make it yours
The mailbox is fully modifiable. Resize it, or unlink the mailbox mesh and link your own build in its place. Just keep the transparent root box as the root: it holds the scripts, and they only work there.
