The United States Postal Services owns all the mailboxes into which the USPS delivers mail.

The laws apply as with any mail that goes through the U.S. postal service.

Are you required to have a mailbox?
I think it is required to have a mailing address, but it could be a post office box rather than a mail box.Added: If you do not have a 'regulation' residential mailbox or mail slot, the Post Office will not deliver your mail to your home. If you have a mailbox at the post office any mail addressed specifically to that box will go into it. If you don't have a box at the post office, your mail will be held for a short time and then returned to the sender as undeliverable.
