There definitely is at least one Post Office and there are DHL drop boxes
Here is a link to more details - although it is in German you could open it ina Chrome browser to get an automatic translation.

In case the information in the link is confusing (it's a third party site not connected to Deutsche Post): the Post office is inside the "Press & Books" newsagents, Terminal 1, Level 0, near the regional train station. The opening hours for the Post office operations (9 am - 5 pm) are more restrictive than the general opening hours of the shop.
There are plenty of letter boxes thoughout the airport, but no Packstation (DHL parcel lockers) in the terminal itself. You'd have to go to Gateway Gardens or the International Mail Sorting Office (officially "Frankfurt Airport Building 190" - between Terminals 1 and 2) for that.

Yes, I do remember. I think it was in hall B just before you entered the secure area. But with all the cost cutting measures since the privatization of the German postal service a lot of offices were closed and replaced by a kind of "franchise" model.

You can have letters sent to select post offices (ausgewhlte Filialen) for pickup. Not sure if there is an easy way to find out if the one discussed earlier in this thread is one of those select ones.
It’s 2024 - no way to get an e-ticket? I haven’t seen a paper ticket in decades.

The place in Kelsterbach has the massive advantage that it's right next to the train station on the S-Bahn line from Frankfurt (first stop after the Airport on S8 or S9 trains called "Wiesbaden" or "Mainz"). Neu-Iseburg is more of a faff to get to, certainly w/o a car.
Important: You need to use the street address of the post office and the words "poste restante" or "postlagernd". And it's registered mail, you need to use the real name of the recipient, as this will be checked against ID. Ordinary mail can be sent under an assumed name (!), as in:
Enkhamga
poste restante / Postlagernd
Waldstr. 10
65451 Kelsterbach

According to the map (https://map.frankfurt-airport.com/) there is one airside at Terminal B (but not sure).
If you select Services on the airport map linked above and then from the "Unterkategorie" --> "Post & Reinigung" ("post & dry cleaning") and you see all mailboxes. It seems the one "Terminal 1 Ebene 2 Bereich B" is airside.
But I might be wrong ....
