Mailbox Icon
mailbox · Message Conversation · 6 styles
Solar Icons catalogues Mailbox under Message Conversation. It is one of 48 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Mailbox lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "mailbox", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Semantically the glyph carries the idea of chat bubbles, threads and message state. That places Mailbox in the Message Conversation family, which covers chat bubbles, threads and message state and turns up in inboxes, chat headers, unread badges and notification centres. Teams building messaging, support desks and collaboration tools reach for this set first. Use Mailbox where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Mailbox in 6 styles
Mailbox comes rendered in 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

Every export is an isolated constant, so the bundler drops whatever you never mention. Import MailboxBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/message-conversation" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for mailbox live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Mailbox icon FAQ
- How do I use the mailbox icon in Angular?
- Import MailboxBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/message-conversation", register it with provideSolarIcons(MailboxBold) and render <solar-icon name="mailbox" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Mailbox support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of mailbox?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Mailbox inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
