USPS Informed Delivery email being processed; no update to sensors.

[smacphee85]

I am running 0.4.0. I have full notifications turned on with USPS.gov and am getting my daily informed delivery emails.

The integration is successfully pulling UPS, FEDEX and AMAZON out of my inbox, and seems to be processing the informed delivery email from USPS, but always comes back with zero mail, zero packages, even though the email I see says otherwise.

Any pointers on where I should look to try to resolve this?

Here is the debug output in the log:

For today’s email, I see this:

[firstof9]

Junk mail adverts get filtered out.

As for packages, those are not obtained via the daily informed delivery emails. The settings for packages are shown on the wiki.

[smacphee85]

The filtering of junk mail makes sense. But today’s Informed Delivery lets me know that 8 pieces of mail, including the power bill, will arrive (which I WISH could be filtered out in real life!). It is still processing the email and reporting zero.

It's reporting 2 emails are found matching the search, which is odd.

[smacphee85]

Good catch! I didn’t realize that there were two accounts feeding to the same inbox. I stopped one and redirected the other to a standalone gmail account. It seems to be working. Perhaps that was it?

I’ll assume so and will come back if any issues.

[firstof9]

Perhaps that was it?

Yes we only account for a single email per mailbox for the daily digest, as USPS only sends one a day, however we could see about handling more than one. I'll put it in my todo pile 👍

[smacphee85]

Seems low prio. Thanks for helping me figure this out, though!
