How do you manage physical mail when traveling for long amounts of time? (wayfarershaven.eu)

After a few weeks, my mailbox is already full. How do you handle this with longer trips? And how do you make sure you don't miss anything important?

I have a person who goes round once a week to check everything. Water the plants, flush the toilets and also check the mail. She throws any junk mail away and everything else she opens and takes a photo and sends to me. Costs me $40 and well worth it.

The easy answer for me was to rely on a family member who doesn't mind sorting through my crap. Luckily, my parents haven't been too bothered by it for the last 14 months. It also helps to unsubscribe and go paperless for as many things as possible before travelling.

You still get physical mail?

I do! Not that much, but some important stuff. Not everything in my country is digitized yet.
