The phrase refers to the improbable notion of acquiring, at no cost, a complete digital version of traditional postal correspondence. It suggests a desire to obtain a fully functional application or program that replicates the experience, or simulates the reception of, physical letters, brochures, or packages without incurring any expenses.
The perceived value lies in combining the nostalgia or tangible qualities of physical mail with the convenience and cost-effectiveness of digital distribution. A hypothetical tool embodying this concept might offer features mimicking the aesthetic characteristics of traditional mail while offering functionalities like virtual addressing, personalized stationery design, and delivery tracking simulations. The appeal derives from bridging a perceived gap between old and new communication methods.
