What does the flag mean on a mailbox?
In the US, when the flag is up it means there is outgoing mail in the mailbox to be picked up by the letter carrier. This alerts the letter carrier to stop at the mailbox even if s/he has no incoming mail to leave for the addressee. When you get ready to mail a letter, leave it in the mailbox and raise the flag. When the letter carrier arrives s/he will take the mail you left in the mailbox, leave any mail s/he might have for you and lower the flag. The flag can also serve as an indication the letter carrier has come and left mail, but it's generally thought inconsiderate to use it for that purpose alone because if the letter carrier has no mail for you it forces him or her to make an unnecessary stop.

How do you know who sent you certified mail?
Certified mail requires you to sign for the mail. To know who sent the certified mail, you usually need to sign for it but the sender's name is typically listed on the green card attached to the mail. You can ask to look at the card before signing and if you miss the delivery, you can look at the slip the mail carrier leaves for you that lets you know you had a certified letter or package.
