@Peter_van_Evert hes offline since two months, you probably have more success with open an issue on github

@strawberry-3.141 @Peter_van_Evert I apologize for not being able to get back to you sooner - been busy with grad school. :( I replied on the issue on github. Thanks! :)

can anyone think of a reason the email is not updating to show new emails? i’m very new to this stuff, the temperature module is updating the temperature so its still connected.
thanks

[Peter_van_Evert]

@zman3 I got the same problem and only one solution, till now. Press CTRL(STRG) and R to restart the magic mirror client. After that the emails are ok, till 2-3 hours… :)

[ronny3050]

@Peter_van_Evert This is really strange. I have not faced this myself.
I think it is because your email client stops responding after 2-3 hours due to security reasons, perhaps :/

[ronny3050]

@wjdw87 This usually happens due to two reasons:

1. Connection to your mail client is not possible - try the two-factor authentication mentioned before for using Gmail, or your credentials are wrong.
2. Try restarting mirror.

Is it possible to sroll the subject instead of putting a limit to the number of characters ?

[pepemujica]

Hi! is it possible to use it in emails requesting 2nd factor?

[davidrq7]

Hi guys can any 1 help me? Email module shows all the time no new emails, and the console looks like this:

Edit: Solved. Just added “subjectlength: 50” at the end of script and works fine :)

I refer to the possibility of a multiaccount module.
I tried to make 2 directories email_a and email_b, uninstalled the module, customized the mail.js und installed it again.
In the “global” config I added both modules into the array with their new names (email_a email_b) with all the other neccessary information like the auth…
But when I start the mirror app, nothing happens. I see, that the helpers start, but no tries to fetch mails.
And no errors.

Any suggestions?

@ronny3050 i would like to display only unread emails. thank you.

Hi,

I use this modul for a long time. but now I have a little question,
is it possible to set a intervall to check new emails?? Like every 10 Minutes for example.

And if it isn´t possible can I easy put this option in any way?
I have to say my coding experencie isn´t very good, so because there is a easy way. :-)

greets gismo

Updated email module.

Now supports:

• Multiple email accounts
• Will not crash on too many unread emails
• Better fetching of recent and unread emails

[ronny3050]

@eugenelai @apm1007 @Gungnir83 Please update. :)

[Preve]

Done the update and now email is “Loading”. Nothing more than this.
Anyone knows why?

The bottom error I got after the “npm install”.

[ronny3050]

@Preve Thanks for the heads up. The bottom parts are warnings and have nothing to do with the module not working. Loading for a long time indicates problem with communicating with your email service.

[rodofrn]

@ronny3050 I have the same problem as Preve, I have tried multiple email accts, and nothing. Happened after I updated MM. Any ideas?

[stephenmelody]

Hey @ronny3050, is there a way to only show the sender’s name and not their email address?

[MSimonart]

@davidrq7 Do you remember what you did to solve this? cause I have the same problem

[MSimonart]

Hi, when starting up the Mirror, email shows loading…

NEW MAIL
