USPS offers a service called "Informed Delivery" which will send you a daily digest of mail that has been delivered to your mailbox. The email includes photographs of the front of (some, not all of) the mail. I've been using it for a while.

It's hit or miss in terms of how many pieces of mail are photographed (at least, the photos you receive). Somewhere around 50% of the mail I receive shows up in the emails (not including junk mail; that's not photographed it seems).

The quality of the photos ain't so bad. Better than the canceled checks I see through my bank.

Same, signed up for it a while back after a rash of mail theft in our area. I'd say 70-80% of mine gets photographed, and the quality of the photos is usually pretty decent. The daily e-mail is actually pretty helpful in figuring out your postal carrier's delivery habits as well. You can also fill out reports for missing mail on there.
