Primary material
Issued recordings, 2018–2026
These are published sound issues catalogued under the name. Most postdate the works they carry, and an issue is never counted here as a work of composition. 3 issues carry dates between 2018 and 2026. The run opens with Lush and closes with Ricochet. The 2020s are the densest part of the run, with 2 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself. They belong to a run of 4 titles in all, from 2018 to 2026.

Recordings and discography
Primary material
Recordings and discography
The discography assembled here shows how Mail's work has been published in sound, not what Mail made. 21 sound issues are catalogued, carrying dates from 2015 to 2026. An issue is a published recording, distinct from the composition it carries, from a printed score of that composition and from any single performance of it; none of the entries below is counted in the catalogue of compositions above, and several of them carry the same work in different readings. The 2020s are the densest decade of publication, with 11 issues. The performers and issuing labels are as the discographic register states them; where it names no performer the article names none.
