Wonder Mail (Japanese: ふしぎなメール Wonder Mail) is a feature in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series of games. Depending on the entry, Wonder Mail can allow players to rescue each other, redeem specific missions to play, redeem Pokémon directly, or redeem items directly. These methods all usually involve inputting specific passwords.

Friend Rescue

Friend Rescue allows players to rescue other players that have fainted in a dungeon. If a fainted player is rescued in this way, they will not be subject to the fainting penalty of losing some items from their bag. The process works as follows:

1. When a player faints in a dungeon, they have the option to send "SOS Mail" to request a rescue.
2. A second player with their own copy of the game can receive the SOS Mail through password^{RBTDSSBLSMDRTDX}, QR Code^SMD, local wireless communication^SMD, Infrared communication^SMD, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection^TDSSBL (defunct as of 2014), or Nintendo Switch Online^RTDX.
3. The second player can accept the mission and go to the floor that the first player ended on, where the second player can revive them. If the second player faints during this mission, they cannot request a rescue for themselves.
4. After completing the mission, the second player sends "A-OK Mail" to the now-rescued first player. The second player also has an option to attach an item to this mail.
5. The first player receives the A-OK Mail, which revives them on the dungeon floor where they were defeated. After returning to town, the first player may optionally send a "Thank-You Mail" to the second player, with the option to attach a typed message and/or an item.

Note that players that faint in boss arenas cannot be rescued in Explorers of Time and Darkness.

In Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, the item pool will be from the version that was recognized as the rescuee.

In Gates to Infinity, the Friend Rescue system instead uses StreetPass. If a player faints in a dungeon, they are able to send out a rescue request via StreetPass. Players can put up to 20 Reviver Seeds into their mailbox, and if they StreetPass a player that has requested a rescue, 1 seed will be consumed to revive that player. This is the only way to perform Friend Rescue in Gates to Infinity - all previous methods mentioned above are unavailable.

In Rescue Team DX, players additionally have the option to rescue themselves, using other Pokémon they have recruited that were not part of the fainted party.

Redeem Missions

In Red and Blue Rescue Team as well as Explorers of Time and Darkness, each in-game mission has its own 24-character password that is visible in the mission description. These codes can be written down and later entered in the Wonder Mail option on the main menu to put that mission in the player's job list, although the same code can't be used twice on one save file.

Kecleon and legendary Pokémon cannot be clients; in the Explorers games, many NPC species, such as Grovyle and Chatot, are unavailable as well. Magnemite and Magnezone are often the clients for outlaw missions in the latter games, but they will never appear for other types of jobs.

Special Wonder Mail codes are periodically available on Pokémon.com, which give access to unique missions or dungeons. Wonder Mail is ranked by difficulty, with the lowest difficulty being E, and the hardest being * (in Blue and Red Rescue Team), or ☆9 (in Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky). A small selection of Wonder Mail could also be found on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection prior to its shutdown in 2014.

In special circumstances, some Wonder Mail missions will not have a code at all. This applies to the Wi-Fi missions to unlock Mewtwo in Explorers of Time and Celebi in Explorers Darkness, whom are not normally available in those respective games.

In Explorers of Sky, Wonder Mail instead has 34 characters, and is renamed Wonder Mail S (Japanese: ふしぎなメールS Wonder Mail S). Wonder Mail missions from its sister games Time and Darkness are unusable - however, Friend Rescue still functions, provided the Sky player requesting rescue did not faint in a Sky-exclusive dungeon.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare), special missions were available to download through WiiConnect24.

In Rescue Team DX, an 8-character password system can also grant special missions, however the game looks up a distinct list of valid passwords in its data, rather than the game "decoding" any code it is given.

Redeem Pokémon

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare), it is possible to automatically recruit certain Pokémon through 16-character "Pal Passwords". This uses a distinct list of valid passwords in the game's data.

Redeem Items

Starting with Gates to Infinity, it is possible to redeem items directly through Wonder Mail by using an 8-character password. Once again, the game refers to a list of valid passwords in its data.

In Super Mystery Dungeon, it is also possible to redeem items by QR Code.

From Gates to Infinity onwards, the term "Wonder Mail" refers only to the above-mentioned 8-character redemption features for missions and items. The feature to rescue friends is under an entirely separate title of simply "Send/Receive Mail"^SMD or the more-descriptive "Friend Rescue"^RTDX.
