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

              @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

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

                  @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

                      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

                              @cyrus1337 ok, I cut/pasted your config, changed to my userid and password…

                              failed… module imap not found…

                              had to run npm install from the modules/email folder…

                              restart mirror…

                              note: this only shows NEWLY arriving email… i don’t know how the mail drops off, as it hasn’t updated for me… 5 emails shown…

                                        Looks good. What happens when you send a new mail to the emailaddress when the logs shows listening for email?

                                          I could try that :) Also, I have 1 unread email in the folder. But I’m trying to send an email to myself tonight and see what happens.

                                          I’ll call you tonight

                                            I sent you an email earlier. Unfortunately, the module still does not show an email and it still says “load”

                                            :(
