Based on what many others have said, it looks like most appointees are getting either calls from their MOC/nominator office or a portal update before the BFE. That said, don't rule out the mailbox because it is possible, just less probable. Hang in there! The wait is excruciating, but it will be over soon(ish). We're all feeling the same way!Does a candidates portal update to Offer of Appointment prior to receiving BFE? In other words if the portal doesn't state offer of appointment then there is no need to think the mailbox would contain a BFE. This is all so stressful.
