Make a new hole in the wall; the old one will be covered by the box. Depends to some extent on what the wall is made of, though. Can you drive a screw in and get it to hold, or do you need to use a plastic wall anchor?
If you're happy with the old location, start one screw in one of the old holes to begin with, just to hold the box in place temporarily. Level the mailbox, and mark the hole location of the other hole on the wall with a marker. Then swing the box out of the way, or take it down, drill a pilot hole for the other hole's screw. If required, insert a plastic wall anchor there, suitable for the screw you're using, then reposition the mailbox and insert screws.
If it's a masonry wall you'll need a masonry bit to drill the holes, and you'll have to be careful to line them up well. In that case, you might be just as well off back up the inside of the mailbox with a block of wood and drilling a new hole in the back of the mailbox to line up with the old hole. Just measure carefully, and use a center punch or nail set to make a dimple before trying to drill a hole in the metal.

Simer Sump pump from 1995 appears to have failed. Plugged into GFI outlet and it immediately kicks out the breaker. Unplugged, took the pump out, took off the housing. Impeller not jammed. Put it back together. Still not working. Do I need a new pump or a repair? Basement starting to flood.

I have an old sears snowblower model 536918200 5hp 22". The throttle cable broke on it and sears no longer carries the replacement part (#50197) for it. Does anyone make some kind of universal cable that would fit this machine? It's still is in great shape otherwise and i would hate to get rid of it for such a minor problem. Thanks in advance for any help/ideas.
