Househacking: How to Separate Mail

I'm doing a househack and living in a separate ADU conversion in the back. Any tips on how to make sure my mail is separated from my tenants? My only idea is to get a separate mailbox and label it "unit B" or something and try to make sure all my mail has "unit B" on it as well. Any tips are welcome!

I have a friend who house hacks and she requires her "tenants" to get PO Boxes. Her reasoning is that when they move and have their mail forwarded, some of hers will inevitably get sent along with it plus it's a privacy issue for everyone. She also has one of those pod style boxes and it's quite small, so any extra mail will overflow the box after 2 days.
