The Postman plays a vital role in the Anju and Kafei quest, and as such, has plenty of schedule changes due to his participation. His First Day schedule remains the same, but things change on the Second Day. It is the same until 12 PM, but after that, it is completely different. At 12, the Postman can be found inside the Post Office, where he is taking a nap. If Link talks to him, he learns that only one letter was sent today{{Ref|MM|4620|Postman}} (which was the [[Letter to Kafei]] Link delivered for Anju). At 1 PM, the Postman begins the Letter Delivery part of his day, and exits the Post Office. Since the letter is addressed to Kafei, the Postman heads to the [[Laundry Pool]], and arrives there at 2:45 PM. He rings the bell, which calls Kafei out of the [[Backroom]]. They meet on the bridge connecting the two sides of the area, where the Postman informs Kafei that he has a letter for him.{{Ref|MM|4622|Postman}} After the letter has been successfully delivered, the Postman heads back to the Post Office, arriving there at 5 PM. From 5 to midnight, the Postman is again training, and Link can also participate and attempt to acquire the Piece of Heart, if he hasn't already done so. At midnight, Link is kicked out of the Post Office, and cannot re-enter as it is locked. It remains locked for the rest of the Second Day.

On the Final Day during the Anju and Kafei quest, the Postman's schedule is fairly similar to his normal schedule. He follows the same schedule during the day, and says mostly the same things. However, during his nap time between noon and 1 PM, he tells Link that not a single letter was mailed,{{Ref|name=nomail}} instead of telling Link about the letter he sent to himself. The rest of the day goes the exact same, up to 6 PM, in which the Postman is again kneeling down beside his bed, wanting to flee. However, if Link has been following the Anju and Kafei quest, he would have received the [[Letter to Mama]] from the [[Man from the Curiosity Shop]]. He can give this to the Postman, who immediately notices the priority mail seal, and decides to deliver it.{{Ref|MM|4616|Postman}} This mail is a letter from Kafei to his mother, [[Madame Aroma]], who is coincidently the [[Postmaster]]. Once the Postman gets dressed, he heads off to the [[Milk Bar]], where Madame Aroma can be found.{{Ref|pg. 118|After putting on his uniform, the postman will deliver the letter to Madame Aroma at the Milk Bar.|''[[Nintendo Power Majora's Mask Strategy Guide]]''}} He tells Aroma that he has a letter for her, addressing her as the Postmistress.{{Ref|MM|4617|Postman}} She is shocked that the Postman hasn't fled yet,{{Ref|MM|4666|Madame Aroma}} to which the Postman replies by saying that tomorrow's schedule is still planned.{{Ref|MM|4667|Postman}} Aroma tries to explain the situation of the sky to the Postman,{{Ref|MM|4668|Madame Aroma}} but the Postman still insists.{{Ref|MM|4669|Postman}} At this point, Madame Aroma finally notices the letter the Postman is trying to deliver her, which she identifies as being from Kafei.{{Ref|MM|4670|Madame Aroma}}. After this, she relieves the Postman of his duties,{{Ref|pg. 118|When [Madame Aroma] receives the letter, she'll relieve the postman of his duty.|''[[Nintendo Power Majora's Mask Strategy Guide]]''}} ordering the Postman to flee.{{Ref|MM|4673|Madame Aroma}} The Postman responds by saying he understands.{{Ref|MM|4674|Postman}} The Postman then leaves the Milk Bar, and stops just outside the east gate. If Link talks to him, he explains that he has decided to flee, an order from the Postmaster.{{Ref|MM|4618|Postman}} He exclaims that he is now free, and can set his own schedule.{{Ref|MM|4619|Postman}} Before he leaves, he gives Link the [[Postman's Hat]], telling Link that he no longer needs it.{{Ref|MM|4675|Postman}}{{Ref|pg. 118|If you talk to [the postman] afterward, he'll graciously give you his Postman's Hat.|''[[Nintendo Power Majora's Mask Strategy Guide]]''}}
