you collect mail to send with your trains on journeys to collect gold... just like you send passengers to do the same. You need to purchase mail wagons to distribute the mail and collect the gold, but you can only collect gold if you have enough mail to distribute... you collect mail from clicking the floating envelopes, or mail that is dropped in your station via balloons or what not, or collected from visiting friends stations, or recieved as a gift from a friend. During special events and holidays, mail consumption increases quite a bit, so that is when you want to run your trains with mail wagons! But like I said, if you have no mail... running mail wagons has no benefit. Also collecting mail will contribute to finishing acheivements. Over all... mail is going to be your least important part of the game IMO... but NTL... continue to collect all the mail you can, once you get a decent amount collected, you can cash in on mucho gold.
