I've had a couple now, of the type where both outside and inside

sliding inside the other. They function well and are completely draft
proof, apart from when the paper guy doesn't push it right through !

Mine's completely draught-proof too, because it's way down at the bottom
of the driveway. Pain in the bum when it's raining or snowing, though - I
need one of those pneumatic message-tube systems so I can suck mail back
from the box to the house :-)
