    Keep in mind that Denmark is a very digitalized society. Nearly everything is digital secure mail, like bills and information from the municipality or government. I’d say it’s closer to 99.5% than 95%.

      Are you willing to give up the pamphlet with all current discounts in the supermarkets nearby just because the government doesn’t want to mail you anymore? Joking, but still: I’m sure mail is still required for a variety of reasons.

        I know you said you were joking but this is a terrible example as these have been digital and easily accessible via apps for a long time haha.

        I’m struggling to think of cases where it is truly necessary. Obviously sometimes you get physical letters from banks to get new credit cards. But this is like, one letter every 5 years? Perhaps there’s a few other things like that. But yea honestly I don’t think the government has to be in charge of mail at that point as it is so underused.

          That is actually one of my main uses of mail, and I do really appreciate them.

          Regarding important things, I live in a foreign country and when I have to vote for my government I get sent a letter, I vote and send back the letter. If the country I lived in removed mail I would not be able to vote in this way.
