MMM-MailMessage a question about the list of approved senders

@UncleRoger
I am trying to get the MMM-MailMessage to work for my mother in law, so that we can easily display messages for her. First Magic Mirror project and I really like it.
Its not quite there yet for me though
The download logs shows that emails are downloaded.

| [10.03.2024 11:20.28.552] [LOG] 9 Mails fetched

The documentation is not 100% clear to me, but that may be me :-)

Could it be that the commas in the description are at the wrong place and should be outside the curly bracket?

             validSenders: [ { addr: "dad@mydomain.com",  name: "Dad",   color: "#00ff00", }
                             { addr: "mom@mydomain.com",  name: "Mom",   color: "#ff0000", }
                             { addr: "son@mydomain.com",  name: "Billy", }
                             { addr: "nana@mydomain.com", name: "Nana",  }
             ],

adding a common outside makes the check go through, but I still do not see anything on the display. I took them away inside and still no messages on the screen.
What am I doing wrong? (I have obviously replaced the email addresses with valid ones from which I can send test emails:-))

@johanPO did you manage to find a solution as I too have the same issue

@johanPO said in MMM-MailMessage a question about the list of approved senders:

validSenders: [ { addr: “dad@mydomain.com”, name: “Dad”, color: “#00ff00”, }
{ addr: “mom@mydomain.com”, name: “Mom”, color: “#ff0000”, }
{ addr: “son@mydomain.com”, name: “Billy”, }
{ addr: “nana@mydomain.com”, name: “Nana”, }
],

I don’t KNOW… but this is misconfigured

validSenders: [

means a comma separated list of things

in this case the thing is a sender info object

{ addr: “mom@mydomain.com”, name: “Mom”, color: “#ff0000”, }

so the list would look like

validSenders: [
      { addr: “mom@mydomain.com”, name: “Mom”, color: “#ff0000” },
      { addr: “son@mydomain.com”, name: “Billy” },
      { addr: “nana@mydomain.com”, name: “Nana” }
]

I always try to put the [ and ] on separate lines to make them more visible
