The instructions are in your link.

For home assistant.

Where?

The HA configuration.yaml has no "sensor:" part in it. There is no 'configuration.yaml' in the "Mail-And-Packages" directory

[firstof9]

You have to add it in. Technically that's the old way.
The new way is under a new templates: section.

So like this?

default_config:

# Load frontend themes from the themes folder
frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml
sensor:
- platform: template
  sensors:
    mail_deliveries_message:
      friendly_name: "Deliveries Summary"
      value_template: > 
        {# Deliveries Sentence #}
          {% macro deliveries_sentence() -%}
                {%- if states("sensor.mail_usps_mail")|int(0) == 0 -%}
         etc, etc, etc```

close, more like:

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      mail_deliveries_message:
        friendly_name: "Deliveries Summary"
        value_template: > 
          {# Deliveries Sentence #}
            {% macro deliveries_sentence() -%}
                  {%- if states("sensor.mail_usps_mail")|int(0) == 0 -%}
  ...

Spacing matters.
