(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 邮:) The simple-form character 邮 (7 strokes) is an old form, re-used as an abbrev. of the full-form character 郵 (10 strokes), replacing the full-form component 垂 (8 strokes) with 由 (5 strokes).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 邮() yóu ‘(anc. pavilion name)’ combines 阝(邑 yì) ‘city-state’, and 由() yóu ‘from’ (phonosemantic); cf. 宙(), which suggests 邮 as an old wr. of 郵.
The full-form character 郵 (10 strokes) is an abbrev. of old forms such as 𨞄 (14 strokes), replacing the old component form 𡍮 (12 strokes) with 垂 (8 strokes).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 郵(𨞄) yóu ‘relay/courier station (between cities)’ combines 阝(邑 yì) ‘city’, and 垂(𡍮) chuí ‘remote border area/place’ (phonosemantic).
