Why not just start with "virtual" PO boxes? Instead of addressing letters to a physical mailbox, people who want to send me mail should address them to some unique identifier that means me the person. I would then go and tell the post office what address that identifier maps to, and I would never have to worry about forwarding mail when I move or updating my address whenever I buy something. You need the post office involved here so you don't end up shipping packages twice, like with traditional forwarding services. Once you have THAT infrastructure, creating a service to digitize mail becomes much simpler - whether done by the post office or third parties.
