PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mailbox and mail collection system capable of reducing a collection time of the mail. SOLUTION: The mailbox 100 includes: a mail opening 1; a mail storage part 2; an alien substance storage part 3; an outer lid 5 which is disposed at the back side of the mail opening 1, moves when the mail and the alien substance are mailed, and releases the mail opening 1; and an inner lid 6 for moving by the mail mailed into the mail opening 1 and guiding the mail to the mail storage part 2. The mailbox includes: an outer lid switch 59A for detecting movement of the outer lid 5; an inner lid switch 59B for detecting movement of the inner lid 6; and a control circuit 61 for determining whether or not the mail is in the mail storage part 2 and whether or not there is an alien substance in the alien substance storage part 3 in a prescribed period on the basis of the outer lid movement signal from the outer lid switch 59A and an inner lid movement signal from the inner lid switch 59B.
