Morphology
unmailed = mailed (transparent) = un + mail + ed
Standard negation prefix 'un-' added to the past participle 'mailed'; the meaning 'not sent by mail' is directly derived.
Etymology
Unmailed is formed from un- 'not' and mail 'post' or 'to send by post', just like in email or mailbox, so it means 'not sent by mail' or 'not posted'.
