Here's the mail...it never fails!

Many resident studnets walk by their mailboxes multiple times a day, but never even bother to open it. Other resident students open their box at least once a day, only to find nothing. Do they even serve a purpose anymore? Most students communicate with their friends and family through email or the phone these days. If mail is used it is mainly for online ordering or care packages, which are picked up in the mailroom, so should residents even still have those tiny mailboxes?
