Greetings for the day,

Please help correcting this:

"Looking through my day's mails"

Is the usage of Day's mails correct??According to me it should be Daily mail or Days mail....Please correct me if I am wrong.

Regards,
Mani

 
"Mail" functions as a plural. I am reading my mail. It could be one item or twenty items.

The mail that came in today could be called the "day's mail." "Daily mail" sounds like there is a particular item that you expect to come every day. You may get a "daily newspaper."
 
The Daily Mail is a national newspaper in the UK.
The day's mail is the mail which was delivered on whatever day is being discussed.
Today's mail is the mail which was delivered this morning/afternoon.
Mail is delivered daily (except Sunday) in the UK.
