According to the invention there is provided a mail receptacle means assembly consisting of a rectangular open weave basket with open top and having means for mounting to a bracket fixed to a door just below a mail slot. The receptacle means is mounted in such a way that the door can be of the overhead type such as a garage door so that it can be moved from the vertical to the horizontal orientation. The mail receptacle means and its mounting are designed to allow the receptacle means to maintain its orientation such that the open top of the receptacle means faces the ceiling no matter what position the door is in. The mail receptacle means mounting is designed also to allow the receptacle means to be removed from the door for placing onto a desk or other mail sorting or collection location.
