Problem with the Module "email"
-
@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
-
@cirdan Ok, you mean I should just enter the name: Adriano B …
-
@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
-
@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 } },
-
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
-
@sdetweil
ok, i changed it. Thanks for the information -
@cyrus1337 thank you…
-
But I have not come further. Is there something wrong with my config?
-
@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…
-
@sdetweil I did that you’ve got. Unfortunately without success
