Is schriftelijk ook per mail

In Dutch, "schriftelijk" typically means "in writing" or "in a written form", and it usually refers to a written document or a letter.

While it's possible to send a written document or a letter via email, the phrase "schriftelijk" doesn't necessarily imply that the communication is electronic. In fact, in many cases, "schriftelijk" is used to distinguish written communication from oral or verbal communication.

For example, if you need to provide a formal response to a question or request, you might say "Ik zal schriftelijk reageren" (I will respond in writing). This could mean that you'll write a letter or a formal email, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll send it via email.

That being said, in modern times, it's common to use email as a means of sending written documents or letters, so it's not uncommon to see "schriftelijk" used in the context of email communication. For instance, you might say "Ik heb uw vraag schriftelijk beantwoord via email" (I responded to your question in writing via email).

So, to answer your question, "schriftelijk" can indeed refer to written communication sent via email, but it's not limited to electronic communication and can also refer to written documents or letters sent via traditional mail or other means.
