email is the fastest mail. Sending it electronically using a program in the internet. Postal mail or otherwise known as postal mail will take about days to delivered. If you want to send it right away then its email. When internet is not available then use postal mail and also not everyone has a computer and not everyone has access to the net.

I kind of like email cos even if the person you are sending the mail does not receive it, you never lose it, all you do is go retrieve it from your sent mail. I put a lot of thought and love into my letters and hate it when get lost!
But snail mail / postal mail is good it takes your good old handwriting and can get sealed with a kiss/ perfume..sentimental stuff like that!
I guess I am just adding to the list of advantages of each and not making a choice again!

Email and postalhave one major difference.If we see security wise postal mails are more secure than emails.Because in emails there may be any tampering of data but that will not be the case with postal mails.thats the only major difference i see in both of them.

I prefer doing business with emails, but I prefer sending personal mail thru the postal service. I love writing letters to my family and I feel a snail mail is more personal.

Yes, each has its own advantage. But nowadays, instead of the traditional snail mail, email is much better and faster. Communication is faster, and it gets the job done easily. Postal mail is for shipment, parcels.

Email because it's faster and free, much more convenient for people like us. Postal mail, you have to go out of your way to go to the post office or have to buy stamps in advance. No guarantee your recipient will receive it.

From the agle of speed e-mail is much better . Some other advanced features such as sending photos and other value added features available in email services make it even better .
But in my area and the people with who I have to regualrly contact , exchange emotions etc. are lacking in this modern technology . So , I have depend more on the postal mails .
I wish these two services play complementary roles rather that rivals'.

E-mail is fast and you can have conifrmation it will be to the proper destination if it has been given correct to address but it is not so in postal mail.I sent a cover of photos from US before 6 months.It has not yet reached.I am sure it wont.
But through postmail only we can send parcels.If you book it with proper confirmation and if the time to deliver is more then you can prefer post mail.
