A mailbox post mounting apparatus includes a post bracket and a mailbox bracket affixed respectively to the ground support post and the mailbox respectively. The brackets include abutting plate-like members having aligned openings with the mailbox in the mail receiving position. A break away pin is secured within the openings to lock the mailbox in place for receiving the mail. If the mailbox is struck by a vehicle, the pin releases or breaks away and releases the mailbox and its support from the post bracket and the post. In one unit, a post-bracket has a post securement plate with an integral lock plate extending outwardly and vertically, preferably upwardly. The mailbox bracket has a post securement plate having integral lock plate extending vertically at the same releasable angular orientation as the post plate. A releasable pin passes through aligned openings to lock the brackets to each other. In another unit, the post bracket and the mailbox bracket may be opposed and telescoped U-shaped channels having vertical pivot bolt units to establish a pivotal support. The overlapping channel sides include the pin openings receiving a cotter pin which releasably locks the mailbox in place. The mailbox bracket may include a threaded end member having a horizontal axis for receiving a corresponding threaded pipe to which the mailbox is mounted.
