Post Offices and Mailboxes

I know this was mentioned in some older threads ...

It would be nice to have the option to 'give' items to another play without having to meet up with them "face-to-face" or with both having to be online.

Something like this:

- 1 Post Office per area/giant/brain (whatever you want to call it)

- Mail can ONLY be _sent_ from a Post Office

- Fees for sending mail, anywhere from 5c to send a letter (just a note) to an additional 5c-10c per item you might send attached to the note or via a package system

- A delay in receiving items, whether it be an in-game day or 20 minutes

- In order to receive mail you must have a house

- Limit the amount (if any) money that players can send to another

* It can all be cute (of course) my the main objective is for players to be able to share items in-game without both having to be online.  And it is cheap enough for player to buy a house that it doesn't seem unfair for lower level players that don't have homes yet to not be able to receive mail.  Forcing them to walk around and meet up with people to exchange items will only enhance their knowledge of how to find people and places
