Trivia
- In "Magenta Comes Over", the beginning chorus was heard again when Mailbox returned to deliver a package to Steve, which had the 3rd clue (a camera).
- In "Blue's Birthday", Steve blew his party horn at the end of the song when Mailbox came in.
- In "Animal Behavior!", Steve clucks the Mailtime song like a chicken.
- In 'Meet Polka Dots!", Joe quacks the Mailtime song like Boris.
- In "Animals in Our House?", various animal sounds are heard before and after each verse:
- Before the song: kookaburra laughter
- "Here's the mail. It never fails.": lion roar
- "It makes me want to wag my tail.": monkey chatter
- "When it comes I wanna wail,": elephant trumpet
- "Mail!": various bird calls including the kookaburra again
- In some cases, there is a delay between the song and Mailbox's arrival.
- In "Blue's Surprise at Two O'Clock!", Steve had to wait a second, then a minute, before Mailbox came in.
- In "Blue's New Place", Mailbox was busy listening to music (specifically "Pin the Flag on Mailbox") and dancing near the tree outside that he forgot to deliver the mail. Steve and the viewers called to him to remind him.
- In "The Baby's Here!", the phone (from Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper) rang before Steve sang "Mail!" at the end. Mailbox had to remind Steve to sing "Mail!" after the call.
- In "Morning Music", Mailbox was asleep, so Joe woke him up the same way Steve got Mailbox to deliver the mail in "Blue's Surprise at Two O'Clock!".
- In 100th Episode Celebration, Steve and Joe sing the Mailtime song from Signs and Patience, in both episodes, Blue's modern singing was used, but in this episode, Blue's high singing sound effect was used.
- Mailtime usually happens after finding the 2nd clue, and sometimes before the 2nd clue is found.
- In Weight and Balance, Occupations, Blue's Play, Shape Searchers, and Animals in Our House?, Blue's barking is muted out.
- in Steve Gets the Sniffles, Steve doesn't yell out the word "mail", he almost did but he was almost going to sneeze again so he just says it calmly.

- This song is in the key of G major.
- The Portuguese version is often known as "Shigo Correio Geemo!!!!" It's a common misconception.
