Problem with the Module "email"

sdetweil

@cyrus1337 press ctrl-shift-i (letter i)
To open the dev console, then select the console tab. Scroll to see if error on module.js side

CyruS1337

@sdetweil Sorry, but where do I have to execute the command.

Sorry, I’m really a beginner …

I hope this helps:

That does not stop and it always comes back to the mistake itself

@cyrus1337 I don’t know anything about this module, but I would guess that your email config is wrong.

The error means the module failed parsing the email data, because there was a connection or permissions error (tls implies ssl connection problem)

CyruS1337

I have the config as described on the page https://github.com/ronny3050/email-mirror

{
		        module: 'email',
                position: 'top_left',
                header: 'Email',
                config: {
                    accounts: [

                        {
                            user: 'name@gmail.com',
                            password: 'pw',
                            host: 'imap.gmail.com',
			    port: 993,
                            tls: true,
                            authTimeout: 10000,
                            numberOfEmails: 5,
                        }
                    ],
                    fade: true,
                    maxCharacters: 30
                }
	},

@cyrus1337 and password: ‘pw’ where pw is YOUR EMAIL password, right?

And name@gmail.com is YOUR Gmail username

Genau, das ist das Passwort für den Emailaccount.

Bei user habe ich meine Emailadresse angegeben.

cirdan

Did you set google security lower than the default. Something with allow third party apps?

Yey, i have set

cirdan

@cyrus1337 its an authentication problem. My best guess is an error in typing your userid or password. You can try it with username, without the @gmail.com part

CyruS1337

@cirdan Ok, you mean I should just enter the name: Adriano B …

cirdan

@cyrus1337 what I mean is e.g. your email is namexxx@gmail.com that you use namexxx as an username in the config. I remember playing with that when getting to module to work

CyruS1337

@cirdan I did that. My username in config is adriano.b .....@gmail.com or am I mistaken you?

{
		        module: 'email',
                position: 'top_left',
                header: 'Email',
                config: {
                    accounts: [

                        {
                            user: '...@gmail.com',
                            password: '...',
                            host: 'imap.gmail.com',
			    port: 993,
                            tls: true,
                            authTimeout: 10000,
                            numberOfEmails: 5,
                        }
                    ],
                    fade: true,
                    maxCharacters: 30
                }
	},

sdetweil

usually when we show our config.js with personal stuff removed, we use … or xxx instead of the default ‘name’ and ‘pw’.

this lets others looking at your issue know you have changed the content

CyruS1337

@sdetweil
ok, i changed it. Thanks for the information

sdetweil

@cyrus1337 thank you…

CyruS1337

But I have not come further. Is there something wrong with my config?

sdetweil

@cyrus1337 ok, I cut/pasted your config, changed to my userid and password…

failed… module imap not found…

had to run npm install from the modules/email folder…

restart mirror…

note: this only shows NEWLY arriving email… i don’t know how the mail drops off, as it hasn’t updated for me… 5 emails shown…

CyruS1337

@sdetweil I did that you’ve got. Unfortunately without success
