Problem with the Module "email"

CyruS1337

I have the config as described on the page https://github.com/ronny3050/email-mirror

{
		        module: 'email',
                position: 'top_left',
                header: 'Email',
                config: {
                    accounts: [

                        {
                            user: 'name@gmail.com',
                            password: 'pw',
                            host: 'imap.gmail.com',
			    port: 993,
                            tls: true,
                            authTimeout: 10000,
                            numberOfEmails: 5,
                        }
                    ],
                    fade: true,
                    maxCharacters: 30
                }
	},

@cyrus1337 and password: ‘pw’ where pw is YOUR EMAIL password, right?

And name@gmail.com is YOUR Gmail username

Genau, das ist das Passwort für den Emailaccount.

Bei user habe ich meine Emailadresse angegeben.

Did you set google security lower than the default. Something with allow third party apps?

Yey, i have set

@cyrus1337 its an authentication problem. My best guess is an error in typing your userid or password. You can try it with username, without the @gmail.com part

CyruS1337

@cirdan Ok, you mean I should just enter the name: Adriano B …

cirdan

@cyrus1337 what I mean is e.g. your email is namexxx@gmail.com that you use namexxx as an username in the config. I remember playing with that when getting to module to work

@cirdan I did that. My username in config is adriano.b .....@gmail.com or am I mistaken you?

		        module: 'email',
                position: 'top_left',
                header: 'Email',
                config: {
                    accounts: [

                        {
                            user: '...@gmail.com',
                            password: '...',
                            host: 'imap.gmail.com',
			    port: 993,
                            tls: true,
                            authTimeout: 10000,
                            numberOfEmails: 5,
                        }
                    ],
                    fade: true,
                    maxCharacters: 30
                }
	},

usually when we show our config.js with personal stuff removed, we use … or xxx instead of the default ‘name’ and ‘pw’.

this lets others looking at your issue know you have changed the content
