That's right; they call it snail mail because it takes a lot more time than email to arrive; days, or hours at best, instead of seconds.

Exactly - it's called snail mail because in comparison to the speed of sending an email (which is practically instantaneous), it takes soooo long!

It goes beyond being "like sending a letter" because it means "sending a letter" through the mail.

Yep, it is. It's called snail mail cuz it's so much slower.
