Hello everyone,
we are currently planning our single-family home and the topic is the mailbox. My husband would like to have a slot in the front door with a flap on both sides, so the mail can simply be pushed or dropped through. I believe it doesn’t make much sense to install walls that are 46 cm (18 inches) thick and windows with triple glazing for thermal insulation, and then have an entrance door with a 30 x 8 cm (12 x 3 inch) opening in it. Or am I mistaken?

I did not want a mailbox that, whether thermally separated or not, leads directly into the interior of the building.
In our town, there was a fairly "active" group of "kids" for quite some time who enjoyed blowing up mailboxes with fireworks on New Year's Eve.
For this reason alone, as well as because of the other mentioned risks and thermal considerations, I definitely prefer a mailbox mounted on the outside wall.

Dirk
