The boxes that are grouped together, like in commercial areas, condos and newer single family developments, have a large door on the back. The mailman has a key and opens the whole thing, then stuffs the mail in from back to front. Often they will have an extra box just for outgoing mail.

Most individual mailboxes that lock do not allow access for the mailman, he only has a slot to insert mail. You would have to take the outgoing to a mailbox or post office. One type called "smart lock" allows it to be opened one time after locking, so the mailman can get in. That prevents theft of your incoming mail, but makes leaving outgoing mail vulnerable to theft.
