postmen

They bring mail

Postmen is the plural of postman, a person who delivers mail.

The term is more common in British English, where American English prefers mail carrier or letter carrier.

The postmen finished their rounds before noon.

The word persists despite being gendered, though postal worker serves as a neutral alternative.
