The term “mail carrier” came to be used as a gender-neutral substitute for “mailman” soon after women began performing the job. In the Royal Mail, the official name changed from “letter carrier” to “postman” in 1883, and “postwoman” has also been used for many years.

British English: postman /ˈpəʊstmən/ NOUN. A postman is a man whose job is to collect and deliver letters and parcels that are sent by post. American English: mailman /ˈmeɪlmæn/

: a man who collects and delivers mail. See the full definition for postman in the English Language Learners Dictionary. postman. noun. post·​man | / ˈpōst-mən /

Hmm, the British use “post” as both noun and verb while Americans say “mail,” but I hadn’t thought of “postman” as a particularly British term. In fact, the first thing that comes to mine is James M. Cain’s quintessentially American 1934 noir novel, The Postman Always Rings Twice.

King on May 21, 1936, Cain claimed this identifying double ring by letter carriers was an old British or Irish tradition and that it doubled as a metaphor for the delayed justice meted out to Frank and Cora, the killers, with “postman” standing in for “justice.” “They had to answer the second ring,” he wrote.
