I made a little automation that shows a blinking box when a delivery is upcoming TODAY and it’s not 4pm yet.
You need the custom card-mod. It also requires the date in the mail itself.
Howto: first create a filter on your mail inbox (e.g. gmail) that caches all mails that announces an incoming delivery and add a label for it (here it’s named HAupcoming). I just selected the sender and 2 words for the subject. (For more security I made a new gmail account and forwarded all these mails first.)
Then adjust the platform config below and adjust your date format (here its 13.02.2021) if it’s different. It uses that to search the mail. My configuration is also set to only show before 16:00, as deliveries are never later than that.
configuration.yaml:
sensor:
- platform: imap_email_content
server: imap.gmail.com
name: delivery_upcoming
port: 993
username: xxxxxxx
password: xxxxxxxx
folder: HAupcoming
senders:
- [email protected]
value_template: >-
{% if (as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom('%d.%m.%Y')) in body %}
incoming
{% else %}
idle
{% endif %}
lovelace:

content: |
# <center>{% if is_state('sensor.delivery_upcoming', 'incoming') and ( now().hour | int) < 16 %} <br>Incoming Delivery Today<br><br> {% else %} My awesome Home {% endif %}</center>

{% endif %}
