email module black screen

@fischi87 something is already using this port, either an old instance of mm is still running or something else is using that port you can change the port in the config file

@fischi87 can you start the mirror and post the logs from the terminal and electron (start with npm start dev)

how i do it with electron?

i found the mistake because of the black screen.

i use the module Carousel and in this i didn’t change the module ‘email-mirror’ to ‘email’ because after installation the folders name is ‘email-mirror’ but u have to change this folder in /MagicMirror/modules to ‘email’ than it works.

thanks

I apologize you had to figure this out the hard way, but the installation instructions clearly state this.
