Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'mail' (postal or electronic messages) with 'service' (a provider or assistance), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes a service that handles mail. While context may specify physical vs. electronic mail, the compositional pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, making the expression understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Mail service grew from comparing electronic messages to paper mail: a computer system is like a 'post office' that keeps messages in an 'inbox' and sends them on, so it became the service that manages 'email'.
