Email

[MSimonart]

Hi, when starting up the Mirror, email shows loading…
in my terminal i see the following:
NEW MAIL
NEW MAIL
NEW MAIL
Email notifier error: { Error: Timed out while autenticating with server at Timeout._onTimeout (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/email/node_modules/imap/lib/Connection

my config looks good,
Accounts: [

user: ‘XX@hotmail.com’,
password: ‘’,
host: ‘imap-mail.outlook.com’,
port: 993,
tls: true,
authTimeout: 10000,
numberOfEmails: 5
},
]
fade: true,
maxCharacters: 30
}

ok, it works, now for the css of the .address text, the text is not well readable on the mirror, there is like some sort of gradient or something effect on the font/text. How do I disable this?

[strawberry 3.141]

@MSimonart here is no gradient effect, probably you mean the default magicmirror class dimmed, you can overwrite it for that module in the custom css

.email .dimmed {
  color: #aaa;
}

Same problem here. The module recieves the Mails but they weren’t shown in the mirror

//edit: fixed my problem. Fade has to be false…

I have added the module in Default folder named it email
and added the module in config.js from the Github link followed here
https://github.com/ronny3050/email-mirror
but nothing is shown on screen.

The email module folder goes in the modules folder but not inside the default folder

[umairshah]

@Mykle1 I have moved it to module but it is not working

When I wrote the command npm install
it showed error no License and no repository field found
then I added repository and license
but it shows that email@0.0.1 is not valid license spdx expression
“license” : {
“type” : “MIT”
}

I’m still having trouble.

I believe I setup everything correctly. Added the subjectlength at the end, allowed IMAP in my gmail account, but still, after loading the module won’t connect to my mail and doesn’t show anything. Is anyone else having trouble with this?

@umairshah
If you add a module to the default folder, you have to make the necessary changes to the default.js file to include it.

It’s just better to put it in the modules folder.

@justjim
It is not in default folder, it is in the module folder.
when I download and tried to install it gave error of no repository and license field in package.json, but when I add those fields in package.json then it showed spdx expression error.

Can you show your config.js file here?

Make sure you hide personal info…

@ime90

Try changing the fade to false.

Make sure your email address and password are case correct (uppercase and lowercase).

Other than that, I don’t see an issue with the syntax.

You did change the config.js.sample to config.js, correct?

[justjim1220]

@ime90

Also…

I have found that some modules don’t work as well with the single quotes (’ ').

Try changing them all to the double quotes (" ")

[ime90]

@justjim1220

Yeah, I changed it of course. I’ll try out the double quotation marks and all you recommended.

Can you just tell me, does this module work for you at this time for Gmail or any other mail?
