Hannah asked Cornelia Funke:

May I just say that it is an honor to be writing to you. I've been a fan since I picked up Inkheart back in the seventh grade. Your books are literally magic spun by gold. I was looking through my copy of Inkheart and on page 143, where Mo was talking about the little glass man appearing and the mailman disappearing, and that got me thinking. I know the mailman is not important, but whatever happened to him?

Cornelia Funke Dear Hannah,
what a wonderful message! It is for sure spun from gold as well!:) Thank you!
I think the mailman IS important. And I think he lived very happily in Inkworld. As far as I know he became a courier of a prince and delivered his mail by horse.
PS
you name sounds German. Please feel free to send questions in German if you prefer!
