MMM-Mail
-
Hey Guys,
I’m the new one…
I’m a complete noob in web-programming like javascript, mode.js and so on…
So far the most of my programming skills are in bare-metal µC Programming by C or ASM.So, now I’m building on of these fantastic mirrors and Wanted to get my mails displayed…
Therefore I builded an module and now I’m hoping that someone other will us it too.
[card:MMPieps/MMM-Mail]
The module creates an IMAP-Connection to a Mail Account and displays the Mails to the mirror additionally it gives a notification on new mail receive.
Please tell me if there is anything wrong with my code, repository or with me ;-)
Have Fun

How often does it check the mail? I’ve sent a test email to my account and so far it says I have no unread mail…
-
Even with lowered app security on google, it’s not working.

@cowboysdude
The module don’t poll the server. It receives events (like push notifications) from the imap server.
On my mirror, the module works with Gmail. …
Currently im in vacation, so I can’t really help you until Tuesday. -
@cowboysdude Hey , Cowboydude , there is config.js is pass: ‘yourpassword’ , not a password: ‘yourpassword’ , i think sample is wrong …
-
@travisbarket damn, your right. That’s a stupic copy paste failure… the right key is pass
-
Thank you @travisbarket I’ll get around to trying it again soon LOL
-
Deleted it and started over and BAM working! Thank you all!
-
@Pieps Great work on the module! I’ve tried it and it works great.
Really love the New Mail alert feature, however for me the sender name is coming up as “undefined”. Any suggestions?
Another thought on spam…I get a lot of spam mail and since the module picks up mail from the server before it passes through my client-side spam filter its sending a lot of those unwanted spam messages into my mirror. It would be cool if the module could somehow filter the messages that get displayed. Do you think something like that is feasible?
-
@carteblanche One suggestion on spam. I had the same problem and so I had all my filtered emails(those not spam) forwarded to an external email account. I then setup the module with the external email account.
Just a suggestion :)
-
@Abuitime Thanks for the suggestion! However I’m wondering how did you set up the forwarder to only forward the filtered mail? The way my forwarder works is it picks up mail from the server side so again it gets forwarded prior to it being filtered by my spam filter.
-
hi @carteblanche,
I will take a look to the undefined name problem. I have an Idea to solve it ;-)
In terms of the spam problem, I think the best solution is to use a server-side spam filter or the solution by @carteblanche . Another possible solution would be to copy the non spam mails to another imap folder. As soon as I come to, I will add the IMAP-Folder to the module-config.
-
@Pieps Sounds Good, Thanks!!
-
So … I think that I’ve solved the Problem.
@carteblanche: could you try it please. To update the module use git pull in the MMM-Mail folder.
Please give me a feedback if the notifications come with the right name. -
@Pieps Thanks for making a quick fix! Once github is back online I will definitely do the pull and let you know the result.
-
@Pieps perfect that fixed the issue. Now the notifications come in with the right name. Thanks again for the quick solution!

I can see that it contact the mailserver. It found 3 new mails (that’s correct) but in the mirrorscreen it didn’t load this new mail. It says continue loading but nothing happend further.
What’s going wrong?Chris

I have the same problem. In the terminal i can see the following:
“MMM-Mail-Helper: Mailbox Closed: INBOX
Mail-Seach complete
3 Mails fetched”But the Mirror didn’t display emails. He say “No unread emails”. Anyone an idea? I connect with an outlook.com Account.
