@UncleRoger Nice. Do you want to add it to the list of modules?

I should do that. I will do that. Thanks for the reminder.

@UncleRoger What happend to it? The repository isn’t available anymore.

@KristjanESPERANTO wrong url

https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-Party-Modules

note the missing trailing s

@KristjanESPERANTO I don’t know. I can see it just fine but it doesn’t seem to be accessible otherwise. I posted in the github community but have not received an answer yet. Searching for info turned up nothing so far.

Searching when not logged in won’t find it and I can’t even find my user. Maybe I’ve been shadowbanned or something? Can’t imagine why.

@UncleRoger you have to login to GitHub
then you can edit the page

see the edit button

@sdetweil
I’ve updated the module list:

Apparently, GitHub’s automated abuse detection decided I was a bad guy and did indeed shadowban me. (They probably talked to my kids or something.) Anyway, it looks like it’s fixed now.

Hey UncleRoger,
very nice idea, thankyou!!
But I´m not able to receive a message, using googlemail.

user: “myadress.gmail.com”,
pass: “mygooglemailpassword”,
host: “imap.gmail.com”,
port: “993”

I also put my sending Mailadress in “validSenders”

Any Idea??

With my arcor-mailadress it works fine…

I did a quick test with my wife’s school google e-mail and didn’t work for me either. I googled around and found that gmail doesn’t support plain imap anymore. (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255)

It appears you can set up a specific “app password”:

Instead you can enable 2-step verification in your Google account security settings (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839), then generate an application password to use instead of your regular account password (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833). – from https://support.google.com/mail/thread/221127207/

I’m not able to test that right now (I can’t muck up my wife’s work e-mail) but I will give it a bash as soon as I can.

@UncleRoger
Aah,
I see. No Problem, I tried to manage it with an other Mail-Account by freenet now and it works!

The possibility to see a running text (like a newsticker) would be nice……

I have actually thought about that and started looking at
MMM-NewsFeedTicker to try and figure it out. It shouldn’t be hard but my knowledge of CSS is virtually non-existant.

I got rather busy with other stuff and was unable to follow through on that but at some point I will pick it up again.
