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.

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.

Okay,
maybe in the future….My Messages are not deleted after the time I adjusted.
[5] Test
means, the Message „Test“ will be deleted after 5 Minutes?
-
@Volkae
Yes, that should mean it should be removed after 5 minutes. It’s possible that it’s not checking that as often as it should. I’ll look into it.To be honest, I’m not sure what controls how often it looks at that sort of thing – I think a new e-mail arriving triggers an update but I’m not sure. I may have to implement a timer of some sort (though I have no idea how to do that as yet).
The downside is that I don’t want it to check for e-mail too often as it may be viewed as a hacker/spammer. I’ll see what I can figure out.

Okay,
a new message will remove the first message but the message must not be empty. Empty messages will be ignored. So you have to write something like “-” in the headline
