Mailbox problems with AM installed
idle:
This isn't caused by awesome mod, it's an EA glitch. It happens when a sim sends you a gift(omniplant) or letter(bills) then stops existing before your sim collects the mail.
Twallan's Overwatch(newest version) will stop it from happening when you collect the mail, but the game still force-shoves them in your inventory if you don't collect the mail manually before leaving a vacation world. If you forget and they spawn anyway, you can use Master Controller to shove them back in the mailbox(click mailbox>nraas) then use "get mail" on the mailbox as normal.
If you don't travel, Overwatch will fix it for you completely, it's just that obnoxious "Oh noes! You forgot to collect the mail while on holiday! Don't worry, I shoved it in your inventory anyway - You're welcome, by the way!" crap that you need to watch for.

Who stops existing? The sending sim?
Frankenbeasley:
I was given to undestand that the 'Omniplant' gift boxes were in some way related to having too many large stacks of collectibles (and some suggestion that it is specifically triggered by uncut gems and/or unsmelted ores) in your Sim's inventory. I have only got the base game and Ambitions, patched with the 1.42 patch, but the 'Omniplants' only started to appear in my mailbox after a ridiculous spate of obsessive collecting on my part. I do not have any mods or CC in my game.
Madame Mim:
Not possible. Fambly in my game were not collectors.

The sender, yes. Not existing as in a family emigrating, a homeless sim that gets cleaned up, etc. Presumably just whenever the game deletes a sim for whatever reason(dead sims are fine if they're not deleted). A long visit to China without collecting mail during the trip usually stuffs my sim's inventory with bills and omniplants when they go home, but I think that's just co-incidence as that sim receives a lot of gifts/love notes in general(maxing the charisma skill challenges seems like a bad idea now ::) ). I can provide an infected save if you want it, it's in barnacle bay though.
Twallan might be a better source of information to be honest, there's a few posts about it on his site, but they're a bit scattered around. This post has some information and an easy way to trigger the omniplant gifts if you want to test it yourself: https://nraas.wikispaces.com/message/view/Chatterbox/58539624#58551384
