A sorting machine with a standard operator work space containing a compact and ergonomic assembly of a hopper (5) for a horizontal stack of envelopes (3) between a control panel (6) and an extraction head (9), and a set of pigeonholes (11) for receiving a large enough number of sorted envelopes to prepare, e.g., a postman's round, said pigeonholes being arranged behind a transparent panel above the hopper, and supplied by a conveyor moving along a path in such a way that the orientation of the envelopes remains the same as they are delivered from the hopper (5) to the pigeonholes (11) before being simply tipped therefrom into the hopper. Said machine is similar to an office machine and is compact mainly because letters are conveyed widthwise and a suitable monitoring and control system is used.
