Struct Mailbox 

pub struct Mailbox<T: Message> { /* private fields */ }

A type-erased, cloneable handle for sending messages of type T to an actor.

Unlike Address<A>, Mailbox<T> is generic over the message type rather than the actor type. This allows passing a mailbox to code that only needs to send a specific message type without exposing the concrete actor A.

Construct a Mailbox<T> from an Address<A> via Address::into_mailbox.
