Two reasons:
1) Services at that scale are hard, and even companies like Yahoo and Google struggle to provide fast, secure, and robust services like email. The US Government doesn't exactly have a good track record implementing services like this. Just think of the extreme security threat. And don't even get me started on customer support costs.
2) They are heavily invested in carrying physical letters and parcels. They would fight tooth and nail to resist a new service that might cannibalize their current service.
