We do agree that it is a cool idea to have mailboxes closer to the starter area, but we don't think that it would be a good thing if mailboxes would actually be placed inside the starter areas.
We are currently focused on making certain that the starting experience is as streamlined as is possible, and adding additional elements to the starter area could potentially overwhelm and cause confusion amongst brand new players.
Instead, we are considering to add a mailbox closer to the starting area than the first town and make it accessible enough that experienced players would know where to find it quickly.
