      I started experimenting with the Magic Mirror a few days ago, setting up something for my mother in-law, who is now 80+.

      The idea of sending messages to her magic mirror is really attractive.

      I have everything configured, and email seems to be downloading. It shows in the log file
      0|mm | [10.03.2024 11:45.10.898] [LOG] MMM-MailMessage-Helper: Mailbox Closed: INBOX
      0|mm | [10.03.2024 11:45.10.944] [LOG] Mail-Seach complete
      0|mm | [10.03.2024 11:45.11.569] [LOG] 8 Mails fetched

      I believe the configuration shown on the git page is slightly wrong, where the commas should be outside the closing curly bracket and not inside.

      {
           module: 'MMM-MailMessage',
           position: 'middle_center',
           header: 'Email - Mirror Messages',
           config:{
               user: 'MMemail@mydomain.com',
               pass: 'password',
               host: 'mail.mydomain.com',
               port: 993,
               subjectlength: 50,
               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",  }
               ],
               daysToDisplay: 0,
               msgsToDisplay: 2,
               colorText: "#0000ff",
           },
      }, 
      

      I have changed that, and obviously the email addresses, nicks and tried a few different colours, but I am not getting any messages on the MM. What could I be doing wrong here?
