Yeah, I’m a bit shocked as well. They’re not generally in convenient spots. Why make something as basic as checking mail a hassle?

Perhaps that is part of their reason (we'll never really know), but I never see a crowd just hanging out at a mailbox doing their thing. It's generally 1 or 2 people, and then I port away to go back to where I need to be. I imagine most do the same as well.
I'd like to see them add more mogmails - maybe a couple in the various city sections, scatter them around the outposts, etc. Grabbing mail should not be a destination. If they want to make a portion of the city desirable, they would need to add summoning bells and a market board and tomes NPCs. I don't think much else is going to lure people away from the current hot spots.
Mogmails are at most aetherytes too... so I don't see why this is as big a problem as it needs to be (which is a non-issue in the first place).
People on this forum argued that hurricane victims had to "take their luck of the draw the same as the rest of us" when someone proposed pausing housing demos. .. I'm not surprised anymore at what they'll argue against.
I'll +1 to the make mail more convenient sentiment..
Though I will say I do like to take a soak in the baths before grabbing my mail on the way out =]
Probably because there are dozens of more serious problems the devs could be working on instead of moving a mailbox to someplace more convenient. For all we know it'd break something more important and completely seemingly unrelated in the game. I know there were a couple of QoL changes that seemed to completely bork how other pars of the game worked XD
