To sign "mail," start by holding your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing up, representing an envelope. With your dominant hand, form an "A" handshape (a fist with the thumb resting alongside the index finger). Bring the tip of your dominant thumb to your mouth, as if you are licking a postage stamp. Then, move your dominant hand down and press your thumb firmly against the palm of your non-dominant hand.
To sign this, use the sign for 'mail,' followed by the sign for 'arrive.' Since this is a yes/no question, remember to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly while signing.
Point to yourself for 'I,' sign 'need,' sign 'check,' and finish with 'mail.' Keep your movements deliberate to show the sequence of actions clearly.
Sign 'mail,' then 'table,' and use a pointing gesture or placement to indicate that the mail is located on top of it.

No, "email" has its own distinct sign. While "mail" mimics a physical stamp, "email" usually involves an 'E' handshape passing through a 'C' handshape to represent electronic communication.
Not at all! You only need to bring your thumb close to your lips or lightly touch your chin. The motion implies licking a stamp without needing actual contact.
While "mail" is related, "post office" is typically signed by simply fingerspelling the letters "P" and "O." You can use the sign for "mail" when talking about the letters themselves.
