Email

@amanzimdwini Thank you!

That seems very interesting. I will take a look at that and get back to you! It is definitely possible, however, I’d like to get an audio notification (on new incoming emails) working before I proceed.

Thx. In the meanwhile: I’d like to change the font size you use for display to small/tiny (I have about a zillion emails in 12+ different accounts)… so I have to fix my custom.css

Judging from previous problems (look at the bottom of
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/254/sachin-s-mirror/21
) I stink at finding the properties myself - any hints would be most welcome.

@amanzimdwini
That’s a good idea. Note:

1. Number of emails to display is customizable and the default is 5.
2. Instead of enforcing people to play around with css, I can have a config property where you can set the font size as ‘big’, ‘medium’, ‘small’.

Please let me know when you get this module up and running, and whether the above helps.

Git pull was easy.
npm install yielded

I’ll go ahead, but thought you might want to know.

I am sorry if my instructions weren’t clear, I’ll update the README. You need to run “npm install” inside the “email” folder.

@amanzimdwini Yes, you should be all set! Thanks for the updates. :D

Thx for updating the README.
Followed instructions (requested app-pwd since I have 2-factor authentication).
My config.js:

                {
                        module: 'email',
                        position: 'bottom_left',
                        header: 'Email',
                        config:{
                        user: 'XXX@gmail.com',
                        password: '****************',
                        host: 'imap.gmail.com',
                        port: 993,
                        tls: true,
                        authTimeout: 10000,
                        numberOfEmails: 5,
                        fade: true
        }

Restarted (NOT REBOOTED) Pi.
Got this:

Rebooted (just to be safe) - same result.

@amanzimdwini you are missing a ‘}’ which closes the config block. It should look like:

 {
                        module: 'email',
                        position: 'bottom_left',
                        header: 'Email',
                        config:{
                        user: 'XXX@gmail.com',
                        password: '****************',
                        host: 'imap.gmail.com',
                        port: 993,
                        tls: true,
                        authTimeout: 10000,
                        numberOfEmails: 5,
                        fade: true
                  }
        }

@ronny3050
Sorry - pasted only partial copy; I had the trailing }.
My Config.js was correct…

Just to be on the safe side, I tested it as if config.js had been what I posted - and that failed with a “please create a config file”. As it should have.

So - I think the problem is elsewhere. Sorry
