To keep this a quiet place
Slowmail is a private exchange — when you seal a page, a stranger's page reaches you in return. Not a town square. More like an unopened envelope passed between two strangers. Two small asks, to keep it that way.
About the letters that arrive
Please don't repost a letter you receive.
The person who wrote it almost certainly didn't write it to be seen by a crowd. If a line moves you, please retell it in your own words instead of pasting it. Letters travel more gently that way.
About your own letters
When you'd rather a page never left your hands, check "Don't deliver this page" before sealing.
Some days, the thought of someone holding your words feels like too much. We can't make the risk truly zero, but with this checked, the page stays only with you and reaches no one.

Once you seal it, a single letter from a stranger will find you.
