We also got a.m. and p.m. mail when we lived in the UK in a small city.
I think the UK has done many things the same way for two hundred years. Many farming areas, particularly in the North, look almost exactly as they do in illustrations in Jane Austen/Thomas Hardy novels. I'm not sure that is the case in the U.S.

Yes, this would be highly dependent on the locality.
I remember reading the Sherlock Holmes stories, and they'd talk about getting the morning and afternoon mail - two deliveries a day. Seemed odd to me, like they were more advanced then than we are now? But then my Mom said they got mail 2x a day in Chicago when she was a kid.
