In the “Then…” section:  
– add card → Flow → Disable a flow → Choose the relevant flow

But you have to activate the Flow again. You can do it in the same flow in the “Then…” section:  
– add card → Flow → Activate a flow → Choose the relevant flow → Delay x minutes

In general there are several ways to optimize a mailbox.

I have a normal mailbox without a parcel box.  
I have a door sensor on the insertion flap, as @Marcel_Ubels has already suggested, and a door/tilt sensor on the removal flap.  
When a letter is dropped in and I am not home, I get a push message. But if I am home, I get an announcement through my Sonos.  
When I get home and the mailbox hasn’t been emptied yet, I get a new push message to remember to get the mail.  
And so on…
