Seems reasonable. These are fairly systematic, but I think there would be enough support in the corpus for us to include them. We already have the synonyms of 'mail (message/system)' and the fact that 'mail' isn't a shortening for 'mailing address' suggest that there may be some non-systematic metonymy here.
