Until I saw the sub I thought this was going to be a question about what to call the postal officer now that we live in a modern society where women are trusted to stuff letterboxes as well as men. Postie is of course the answer to that.

I go with mail carrier. Then again, the man in postman is supposedly from the old English “mann” which just meant person.
