Yeah, the neighbourhoods I've lived in were built in the 50's and 60's. They only introduced outside mailboxes here for the suburbs like 30 or so years ago. It's less work for the mailman but I don't get how they know who's mail goes where. I guess every address for that street gets assigned a box but then there's like 50 little boxes. I'm guessing that every little compartment has the house number on it, sort of like apartment mailboxes have the unit numbers on them. The only problem with the mail slot is that if it's winter or just windy out, you get a draft.
