I think that mailpony isn’t a good implication for that one, but agree mare is.
mailpony makes me confused though - it seems the hierarchy might be:
  • mailpony
    • mailmare
    • mail ... stallion? - no, that doesn’t exist … here at least. But we do have care package …
Should mailmare only apply for Derpy? Like - is mailmare just a Derpy thing? hmm .. ok, looking at the mail tags, I don’t have enough data to process how to wrangle it.
Ugh. I’m clearly overthinking this. I added mailpony and mare as implications to mailmare, but I’m not sure if I should also be implying any of the other mail tags like mailmare hat, mailmare uniform, mailpony uniform … or whether mailpony needs similar implications … I think unless someone can describe how this could all be wrapped up I’m going to look at how other sites populate this tag.

Why? I guess technically not every mare is a pony (can be a horse for example), but do you think we’ll get non-ponies tagged “mailmare”?
mail… stallion?
Derpi has poststallion with 2 images. I think most of the time mail-carrying stallions are simply tagged “mailpony, stallion”.
Should mailmare only apply for Derpy?
Mailmare is not specific to Derpy, see mailmare AND NOT derpy hooves on Derpibooru.
I’m not sure if I should also be implying any of the other mail tags like mailmare hat, mailmare uniform, mailpony uniform
I don’t think so. For example, post office saddlebag and a letter in mouth clearly indicates a mailmare without any uniform.
or whether mailpony needs similar implications
Oh, right: mailpony should definitely imply pony.
If we had a generic tag for a person carrying mail, mailmare and mailpony should probably imply it. Derpibooru has mail carrier, mailman, mailwoman, postman. I think mail carrier looks most promising, but I think it’s best to bring this issue on Derpibooru, let them handle it and then use the solution they end up with.
Fun fact: Derpi even has a mailgriffon tag.

Agreed. Done.

I think I was expecting to see more images of Gabby here, but - yeah, the vast majority (granted, it’s a very small set in any case) is pony. And given that:
mailpony +> pony
Added the implication:
mailmare +> mare, mailpony, pony
Fun fact: Derpi even has a mailgriffon tag.
Agreed. Ah! Found one:
mailgriffon +> griffon
There! Our tags are now officially more set up than Derpi’s (where the set of cases is 1).
