Snail mail

Updated: 10/02/2017 by Computer Hope

Snail mail is slang for the traditional paper mail sent by a postal service. The term snail mail is used because it can take days to receive a traditional mail message when e-mail and more modern digital communication can take at most a few minutes to be delivered.
