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

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…

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?
