ABSTRACT:
A mailbox having a mail receiving end, a mail storage end, and an inclined intermediate body portion therebetween. The mail receiving end has an outgoing mail holding shelf provided therein and a pivotably attached door attached thereto. The mail storage end holds the received mail therein and includes a lockable mail access door for removal of the mail therefrom. The back side of the mail storage end is flat and includes an upper extending flange, such construction allowing for placement of the mailbox on a conventional mailbox post. The inclined body portion is long enough and angled to thereby prevent removal of mail by reaching into the mail receiving end.
