First of all, this is medieval times we're talking about here; they didn't have daily mail or newspaper delivered.

Most people in that time were peasants, so they did not receive mail or post because they were viewed as insignificant to the superior nobles and such. They were extremely poor as well, so they could not pay couriers to deliver letters.

The people that did get letters were the nobles, barons, kings, and other people of higher ranking and significance. These letters were sent by other nobles and such through couriers or messengers. Usually, though, these messages would be read aloud, and not read by the king or noble himself.

So, overall, only nobles and those of higher feudal class received letters, and those letters were carried by messengers or couriers to the noble on foot or horse, and usually read aloud.

In certain cases, if the messenger opened up the message before getting to the recipient, their could be severe punishments.
