A remotely controlled adjustable mailbox support uses a stepping motor, controlled by a microprocessor/CPU, to raise a mailbox platform above a level where the mailbox can be damaged by a passing snow plow. Based on remote command signals received by a internal communications module, the time and duration when the mailbox is raised can be controlled, as well as the height to which it is raised. An optional temporary rf-signal over-ride capability for mail carriers and/or snow plow operators is also provided, as well as control application software for wireless mobile devices.

1. A remotely controlled adjustable mailbox support, comprising: a vertical post, having two lateral sides and containing one or more interior post cavities;two support arms, extending from the lateral sides of the vertical post and supporting a mailbox platform, wherein the support arms are rotatable from a horizontal lowered support position to one or more raised support positions, in which the support arms are oriented at acute angles in the relation to the horizontal lowered support position;a stepping motor, located within one of the interior post cavities, wherein the stepping motor mechanically engages the support arms through one or more transmission means, and wherein the stepping motor is configured to perform an elevation control process, in which the stepping motor raises and lowers the support arms between the horizontal lowered support position and the raised support positions;a motor controller, comprising a microprocessor or CPU, located within one of the interior post cavities and in electrical or wireless communication with the stepping motor, wherein the motor controller is configured to transmit motor control signals to the stepping motor, which motor control signals are configured to activate and control the elevation control process; anda wireless communications module, located within one of the interior post cavities and in electrical or wireless communication with the motor controller, wherein the communications module is configured to wirelessly receive remote command signals from a remote command source and to transmit the remote command signals to the motor controller so as to activate and configure the motor control signals transmitted from the motor controller to the stepping motor. 2. The remotely controlled adjustable mailbox support of claim 1, wherein the remote command signals and the motor control signals are configured to activate and control the elevation control process so that the support arms are elevated to one of the raised support positions at a specified first date and time and so that the support arms are lowered to the horizontal lowered support position at a subsequent specified second date and time. 3. The remotely controlled adjustable mailbox support of claim 2, wherein the remote command signals and the motor control signals are configured to activate and control the elevation control process so that the support arms are elevated to one of the raised support positions corresponding to a specified height of the mailbox platform. 4. The remotely controlled adjustable mailbox support of claim 3, wherein the communications module is configured to receive some of the remote command signals in the form of rf signals, and the motor controller is configured to transmit, in response to the rf signals, the motor control signals so as to activate and control the elevation control process for a limited duration, not exceeding a half-hour, to accommodate snow plowing or mail delivery activities. 5. The remotely controlled adjustable mailbox support of claim 4, wherein the remote command source is a mobile wireless digital communications device, which is configured so that the remote command signals are formulated through an application software.
