I don't know of any service which will scan and e-mail you something that was received at your mailing service.
Escapees will open and read mail to you over the phone, but will only forward the actual letter/ document.
There are UPS stores in NM which do mail forwarding. One reason we went with Escapees vice a local UPS store was personnel. Escapees is going to stress customer privacy and personal accountability to their employees.
UPS stores are individual franchisee's - so the quality can vary. When the owner made a surprise visit on one UPS store in our former home area, he found several thousand pieces of mail that had not been placed in customer boxes over a couple months because the clerks were 'too busy'. Not saying it will happen, but it can.
I have met a couple hundred people who full-time/ near-full-time over the past year who do not use a mail service. They keep their residences in their home states for many valid reasons - hunting being one.
They usually have a friend or relative handle mail forwarding.
From you list - I have to ask - are you going to sell your home? Are you not going to have a physical presence in your current home area, including storage, etc? If you don't break that tie, you can use a mail forwarding service in another state for a mailing address, but keep your domicile in NM with minimal official only mail going to that address.
Agree with the above.
You *might* find one of the local mail service stores which are "convenient" alternatives to the USPS - that would consider doing that......for (IMO) a *VERY* exorbitant fee.
Maybe a retired relative or trusted friend in NM who might like to make a few bucks providing you the service.
Have your mail forwarded to his/her address.
Good luck with "Mission Impossible".
