Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'hate' (hostile feeling) with 'mail' (letters/messages): it refers to mail containing hateful or abusive content. This noun-modifier composition is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern and should be clear to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Hate mail comes from the simple image of mail filled with hate, where people write angry words and send them to upset or scare someone. That's why it now means 'abusive or threatening letters or messages'.
