'Starship Troopers.' Hero gets a snail mail via starship. I never read it myself, but there's one form the 1930's where they land on an alien planet and explore it in a prop plane

Neelix goes around handing people PADDs of their mail but that's because Neelix is terrible not because of any technological necessity.
