That fix (buying a new mailbox and staying on the lot waiting for mail to be delivered) didn't work for me. I'm hoping the next patch addresses this bug.
I wasn't getting my Geocouncil stuff sent after the last patch (but was getting my bills), so I replaced the mailbox and sent off another crystal. Next Sim day, ta-da! Element back from Geocouncil, AND a very cute mailman delivering it. Someone did happen to be home at the time, so I do not know if that was a necessary part of the picture or not.
ETA: Analyzing metals and crystals at the science job has only once yielded an element. The other times, I just got information on what it was made of. Is it supposed to happen every time?
