In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female.

There is no gender specific noun for a female who delivers mail. Until a few decades ago, females were not hired for the job of delivering mail in most places.

By the time that many postal services began to hire female carriers, job descriptions were becoming generic.

The noun 'postman' has become the common gender nounmail carrier or letter carrier.

Oddly enough, the job of 'postmaster', the manager of a local postal office, was sometimes done by women. The gender specific noun for a female manager is 'postmistress'.

It is hard to say but usually people say "the postman is coming tomorrow" but if you were focusing on the fact the postman was a woman you could say postwoman and there would be nothing wrong with that really it is your choice and depends on the context.
