Abstract: A tray for mail boxes, especially those of the rural type, wherein the tray rests upon the mail box bottom and receives mail and other contents placed within the mail box. The tray includes finger grasping means adjacent the mail box door whereby the tray may be partially pulled from the box making the contents readily accessible and eliminating the necessity to reach deeply into the mail box cavity. Means are defined on the tray for holding letters to be picked up in a convenient position, and for supporting coins to pay postage due.
