Okay, for characters who have zero understanding of the Dataverse or who simply enjoy a good letter/package: Is it possible to set up something like pigeon mail, or just a random mail courier service that can span across verses and magically knows where people are?

Dataverse Devices can take pretty much any shape, so there's nothing precluding you from creating a Dataverse device that has a form more comprehensible to the character. For example, the device could be a pigeon that physically travels in and out of the Dataverse and brings back any responses in the form of physical letters. Another great idea I've heard would be a magical book/diary where anything you write gets put up on the Dataverse and any responses appear as written replies (i.e. kind of like Tom Riddle's diary from Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets).

Really, as long as you don't attempt to use it as justification to do things beyond the Dataverse Device's intended function (like, for example, trying to use the aforementioned pigeons as a way to physically enter the Dataverse without an Uplink Station), there is no limit to how you can rationalise it.
