EMO stands for Emotional Punk, its music where you whine & cry & ***** & complain & boohoo about how your life is messed up. All the bands you have mentioned are EMO, i dont like Postal Service though, they are moce like..techno-EMO, i hate techno or dance music of any kind
Ah, oh well. I don't think any of the bands I mentioned are Emotional Punk. More like indie/alternative rock (The Shins, Bloc Party) or folk rock (Iron and Wine) or, like you said, electronica (The Postal Service).
By the description you posted, it sounds EMO bands are more like Simple Plan, Good Charlotte and Modest Mouse. Not Iron and Wine.
