Abstract (en)

A mail sorting device (1) having a mail receiving and singling module (3) which receives packs (4) of mail items (7) and feeds out single mail items; and a sorting module (11) input-connected to an output of the receiving and singling module (3), and which directs each incoming single mail item (7) to a selected accumulating device (12) forming part of a number of accumulating devices (12) of the sorting module (11). A measuring device (15) upstream from the sorting module (11) determines at least one dimensional parameter (dc, de) of the single mail item fed to the sorting module (11); and the dimensional parameter information (dc, de) is associated with an indicator (E1, E2, ..., En, E20) of the selected accumulating device to perform a procedure by which to determine the fill level of the accumulating device as a function of the number and size of the mail items fed to the accumulating device.
