@PugLove888 Thanks so much for responding. I did see somewhere where the Old Salt House had an apartment mailbox (and yet was a normal house), but perhaps that isn't true. I usually replace it in my game with a bar. 🙂
Appreciate the suggestions. It's just odd that I can get mail at my house with it, but can't send. Ah, well. Thanks again!!

@Braxien You are correct, the Old Salt House does have the apartment-style mailbox.
I'm not sure why it would work there and not on any other residential lot unless it has something to do with the Spice Market neighborhood? If you have the Get Together EP there is a nice mailbox that has a similar appearance that could blend-in well with a wall.
Just as an experiment maybe you could try hiding a regular mailbox somewhere on your lot, like in a basement, and keep the apartment-style mailbox to give your lot the appearance you want. I often do something like this with with extra beds if I want my Sim to advertise for a roommate and she has one or more pets (the game requires a regular bed for all Sims, including pets, plus at least one extra before it will allow you to advertise for a roommate. I don't want all those beds taking up space in my house so I hide them in a basement. Anyhow, sorry that's getting a little off-topic xD I don't know if having more than one mailbox per lot is even allowed but it might be worth trying.
@Braxienand @RandomBuzziness , I forgot about the Old Salt House! (And I've used it a bunch, just not lately! 🤭 ) But as soon as you said you thought it had one, I knew you were right!🙂 @RandomBuzziness Thank you for confirming this! ⭐ And also I'm glad you mentioned putting the mailbox in an out of the way place like the basement 💡.... I was just thinking of putting it in the family inventory. The basement is better, and is worth a try! 🙌
