At the [[Day results menu|end of every]] [[day]] in {{p2}}, [[Captain Olimar]] receives some '''mail''' ({{j|メール|Mēru|Mail}}). These short messages provide context to the story and show what [[the President]] and the various [[minor characters]] are doing while the [[leader]]s are exploring.

The mail that appears for each day is taken from a specified set that depends on how many [[Poko]]s the player has collected, and is always received in a set order. Once every message in one set has been shown, the final message in the set is repeated until the requirements for the next are met.

It is possible to view past mail entries by pressing {{button|gc|l|wii|padl|switch|facel}} and {{button|gc|r|wii|padr|switch|facer}}, but only pieces of mail from the last 20 days are saved.

In the following lists, each piece of mail has a header to differentiate between the English and Japanese GameCube, Wii, and Switch versions.
In the following lists, items with multiple lines mean that they are different between the GameCube, Wii, and Switch versions; the top line corresponds to the GameCube original, the second for {{npcp2}} (if there is a change), and the bottom for {{p2s}}. For the purposes of marking what message comes from which version, all messages from the Switch port are italicized.

*In the GameCube version, the player is able to hold down {{button|gc|l|}} or {{button|gc|r}} in order to automatically flip through the mails, but in the [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|''New Play Control!'']] and [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch]] ports, this is no longer possible; the player must repeatedly tap {{button|wii|padl|switch|facel}} or {{button|wii|padr|switch|facer}} to scroll through mail.

*One of the spammer's mails mentions an "E-Mag #255". 255 is the maximum value an unsigned byte can hold, and as a result of its relevance in game development, this number appears commonly in Nintendo game scripts, along with 256, for the same reason.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Repair Juggernaut/sale}}|Hocotate ship|[[sales pitch]] for the [[Repair Juggernaut]]}}{{cite quote|In this mind-bending realm, my attacks are 256 times more potent!|[[mariowiki:Dimentio|Dimentio]]|[[mariowiki:Dimension D|Dimension D]]}}

*At the end of the day, if the player opens that day's piece of mail, then goes back to the Pikmin stats menu, and returns to the mail, its window will rise up from the bottom of the screen, squashing the sender's icon on the way up.
