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?

[justjim1220]

@ime90

Yes, it works for me with my Gmail, my Hotmail, and my Yahoo mail. But I have since decided to link all three to my Gmail so I use just the one to receive all of them. But, I have tested it with all three and it does work.

@justjim1220

Tried it all but still getting “No new Mail” text. I dunno where I’m going wrong. Could you please copy your module text (or send me on private) so I can compare them. Also, did you do anything on your own gmail account that could help? I changed the imap settings.

I get this error:

Follow the link given in your error…

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78754

Then follow the instructions to set your account to use less secure apps with your account…

I’m pretty sure that I had to do that to get mine to work.

There are other things to try as well.
