The mailbox rule, also known as the postal rule, applies to acceptances made by regular mail. This rule states that an acceptance is effective when dispatched, as long as the communication is correctly addressed and the means of communication is expressly or impliedly authorized by the offeror. In this scenario, regular mail is the method that traditionally applies to the mailbox rule.
