The post office will not forward mail for short periods of time, like two months, for example. So have an arrangement with a neighbor to forward your mail. In the winter we will be here for 4+ months, so the post office said no problem. But have them start forwarding your mail 7-10 days before you leave at each end, because it takes about 7-10 days for them to start forwarding. I was surprised to see that they would not forward my mail for 6-8 weeks, but that is their system.
