postbags

Pouches for correspondence

Postbags are bags used for carrying mail.

In British usage, a postbag also refers collectively to the mail someone receives: The article generated an enormous postbag from readers.

This figurative sense emphasizes volume—a heavy postbag means lots of correspondence, usually in response to something published or broadcast.
