A: So, I'll fly to Tokyo for the meeting tonight and I should be back on Monday afternoon.

B: Yes, I'll call you as soon as I can with some news.

So

1. Keep me posted means:

a) let me know what happens

c) send me an email

2. The expression keep me posted is old-fashioned

excellent Amal
that's right

If you ask someone to keep you posted, you want them to keep you up-to-date with information and developments in a situation. These days, we all send instant messages all over the world with our phones and computers, but this expression was originally about sending letters in the mail.

I think it's nice that although some activities become old-fashioned or forgotten, they survive in the English language like this. Not many people sail in ships now, but a lot of English idioms come from a time when they did. Also, people might not write and post letters so often now, but the expression keep me posted is still very common.

you reminded me of "cargo" and "shipment" :)
