Guild Wars 2: The Bank and Mailbox

The bank and the mailbox are handled differently in GW2.   The mail is handled via your UI instead of going to a local with a virtual mailbox.  You can mail items to other players but not among your characters.

Instead, you can use the bank (called the account vault by GW2) to transfer items among your characters which all share the same bank account.  To access the bank,  talk to a banker or visit a crafting station.

Note that you can automatically send crafting materials to your bank while out foraging in the wild just by going into inventory and either right clicking your mouse, then selecting "Deposit Collectible" or by clicking the gear icon and choosing "Deposit All Collectibles."  This is described in the second link above under the Auto Deposit section.

Rift: Finding Mailboxes

Mailbox locations can be found on your mini map.  "If you click the top icon on the left hand side of your mini map (it looks sorta like an eye) you will see a list of things that can be marked on the mini map - mailboxes are on that list."  Thanks, Dreyhana.

Here is a map showing Meridian's mailbox, among other things.

Things No One Tells You

WOW Insider lists various things that stump players because they aren't well explained, things like how to drop a profession, how to find trainers, flight masters and mail boxes, how to evaluate items you could disenchant, and how to use trinkets in macros.
