ABSTRACT:
There is provided a security mailbox for receiving mail and securely retaining the mail until removed by the mailbox owner. Outgoing mail may be placed in the mailbox and retained out of sight until accessed by the mail carrier. A visual indicator is provided to signal the presence of outgoing mail. Once mail has been deposited in the mailbox and secured within, additional mail may not be placed in the mailbox until the mailbox owner has unlocked and reset the mailbox. Another visual indicator signals the mailbox owner that mail has been deposited in the mailbox. The mailbox is sized to receive small packages such as boxes of checks from a check printer, packages of medications, and the like.
