My boss lives in another city. Hand delivering is not happening. Should I mail or email?

Do both. Send the email first then confirm it with a letter by mail.
Peace and blessings!

Write a letter. You have a mad face so I assume you are very upset. Just a bit of advice-Never burn bridges, you never know where that person or his relatives will come into your life again. Be very professional and rise above the problem. Just because someone else doesn't handle themselves properly, doesn't mean that you shouldn't. Plus you never want to let people know they got to you-even tho' they must have because you are quitting. Last advice-never go without a good fight. And more important, never let anyone put you in a position that you can't get a good letter of reference. After thinking a bit more, I would write my letter carefully and then call my boss and say that you are sorry but the job is not working out. (Be prepared with a short answer like the work environment is not good, job duties are not what was promised when hired, don't whine) Tell him you are willing to give two weeks notice so that he will have time to hire someone to take your place. And then ask him for a letter of reference. Get him to write it and mail it to you and keep it for future resumes. This way you have done all the things you should do and have shown him that you can handle yourself, are responsible and have regard for his business. It will also make him wonder what is going on that made you quit. Most bosses are pretty perceptive even if they are not present a lot of the time. If the problem is your boss, disregard all that I have said. . .

Since s/he lives in another city you can give your resignation over the phone and ask your boss if s/he would like it in writing by email or mail.

A formal letter of resignation by mail is better. Email is acceptable, but not as good. It is just my opinion.

I think you should send him the resignation first by e-mail, then arrange the time when you can meet and talk to him about this, just to be more officially!

Mail is a classier option, especially if, for some reason you end up meeting up with your boss through networking later on.
