A mail box construction including a security compartment housed beneath a regular conventional mail compartment. The bottom of the conventional portion of the mail box is formed by an extension of a hinged door which is in a substantially horizontal position when the mail box door is opened and which lowers into a declined position when the mail box door is completely closed. When the door closes the mail drops into a locked safety compartment for later retrieval. An outgoing mail shelf is carried on a sidewall of the conventional mail compartment.
