Post Offices only appear in [[Ages#EraII|'''Era II''']], the Steam Era. During the transition between [[Ages#EraI|Era I]] and [[Ages#EraII|Era II]], post offices will appear in each towns across the map.
Mail delivery follows the same rule rules as passenger delivery, depending on the '''Passenger Destination''' parameter in [[Game Settings#Advanced|'''Game Settings''']]. The transfer between different trucks and trains happens automatically similar to tranfer of the passengers. '''Do not use Full load / unload Unload commands for mail.'''
Mail delivery actually happens between stations, not between the actual post offices, so it is possible (if you so desire) to be delivering mail between different stations in single city as long as both stations have the Post Office in their catchment zones.
==Processes==
Once a post office is within the catchment area of a station, two processes will begin. The first process takes Mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] that has been delivered to the station, takes it to the post office and converts it into Money Tokens [[File:token money.png|16px]] at a rate of 1 piece of Mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] for 3 Money Tokens [[File:token money.png|16px]] per 80 squares of distance traveled.
The second process produces 1-4 pieces of Mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] per 2 [[Game tick|'''game ticks''']], this . The Mail is then sent to the nearby station, ready for collection by a train pulling [[Wagons#Mail|'''Mail Wagons''']] or by [[Road_vehicles#Mail_Vehicles|'''Mail carrying trucks''']].
The number of Mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] produced depends on the level of the Post office. Post office has 3 levels changing automatically as your city growth. Moreover, at level 3 there is an extra electrification bonus [[File:e_energy.png|16px]] if you connect the Post Office to your electrical network [[File:e_energy.png|16px]].
