React – expressions must have one parent element?

Put them in an array (assign the keys also):

{ if.this.props.mail ? 
    [
        <Route key={0} path="inbox" component={Inbox} />,
        <Route key={1} path="contacts" component={Contacts} />
    ]
: null }

With latest React version, you can try React.Fragment also, like this:

{ if.this.props.mail ? 
    <React.Fragment>
        <Route path="inbox" component={Inbox} />,
        <Route path="contacts" component={Contacts} />
    </React.Fragment>
: null }
