Problem with the Module "email"

@cirdan said in Problem with the Module "email":

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
                }
	},

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

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…
