I’m a millennial - I don’t check my mailbox for 6+ weeks at a time.
If I order something, then I know about it and expect it at my door (because it’s fedex, amazon, or ups).
Otherwise, it will have to wait until I happen to remember I have a mailbox.
For example, with bills - I expect you to have my email address and use it, because I supplied it whenever I established xyz account.
Exceptions:
Around the holidays when people send out holiday cards!
For a local property tax exemption, my county refuses to email it. Their requirement for receiving the exemption is that you live here locally, and part of their way for verifying that, is by sending the request form to your local physical address.
If you live in the US, you can get your mail sent to your email inbox every day you are getting something that is directly addressed to you (i.e., not spam). It’s called USPS Informed Delivery.
It doesn’t always work if they get your address slightly off (say they put STE instead of APT), but it’s a lot better than nothing.
I’m the same way with my mail.

Just signed up for this, thank you. It’s fantastic!
Now I can check my mail from the comfort of my bed. USPS email comes daily at 0400.
