@ronny3050
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

[ronny3050]

@amanzimdwini Could you please report the logs?

[ronny3050]

@amanzimdwini Also, if you’re using Gmail, you need to ‘set lower security for apps’ https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps.

[ronny3050]

@amanzimdwini It should be working now?

[amanzimdwini]

@ronny3050

Just did a clean install on a brand new pi in about 5 minutes flat. COOL MODULE.
(still need to work on 2-auth, please. Plus I’ll want to change your config to make the display single line etc. I’ll look at the js file)

[ronny3050]

@amanzimdwini I am working on it. Also, I am finishing up with another module that works in a very similar fashion, where your requests would be required as well. I’ll add them together :D

[Neokamikaze]

Hi,

Thanks for this job.
It’s possible to add number of email don’t read in the header module ?

Thanks

[ronny3050]

@Neokamikaze Thanks for your kind words!
It is definitely possible. Unfortunately, I am traveling and don’t have my mirror with me. I will add it in a week and update you.

Thanks once more :D

[pietrodona]

Hi,
Thank you very much for this amazing module. Unfortunately, I was not able to make it work properly. Without giving any error (at least that I am aware of) it freezes on the loading screen.
I managed the security and everything, it is a Gmail account.
Any idea of what’s going on?

[pietrodona]

Sorry for double posting. Now it works, but I did nothing but rebooting.

[ronny3050]

@pietrodona rebooting helps. The issue could’ve been some IMAP error. This happens because IMAP is super sensitive and errors without reason.

Hopefully, all is well now.

When in doubt, pull the plug.

[eugenelai]

Is it possible to add two email addresses? Kindly please advice @ronny3050

[strawberry 3.141]

multiple adresses are currently not possible

[Neokamikaze]

Hi @ronny3050,

I have a problem, same problem that @pietrodona. My emails are double on my mirror same after reboot. After a few day, my emails are double on my mirror. And after delete my emails on Gmail these emails aren’t deleted on my mirror.

Thanks

@ronny3050 I did that and still no emails ;( Everything is set up correctly … login/password …

Suggestions?

[samydp]

Hello,
you can adjust the size of the email?
at too long email that goes module over the entire screen

[Hacksaw]

@samydp

email.js
search line 59:
var subject = mailObj.subject.replace(/[['“]]+/g,”");
among them include:
var subject = subject.substring(0,30); //This limit of 30 characters
