Problem with the Module "email"

[CyruS1337]

Hello

Sorry if I ask again, but unfortunately I can not find it. So I go like this -> Account -> Security and then I do not find what you mean.

@CyruS1337 No problem:
When loggin into gmail, on the right hand side there is the “hamburger menu”:

When you click that you get a list of apps, select Account from there. On the left click security:

On the right you will see Signing into Google. Click on the “>” on the line “App Passwords”

On the next screen enter your password and then on the next screen you will be able to create the key.

i don’t see that on my console… I see

password
use your phone
2-step verification

@sdetweil Strange. I had to generate a key to get email to work. Not sure why you guys don’t see the option.

Edit:
Maybe because your 2FA is turned off.

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj yes, had to turn on 2fa… hate that

[CyruS1337]

I do not see it either. I see the same as sdetweil. I’ve also approved third-party apps with account access on this page below.

Can I do something that would help you? Post a log or something. You just have to tell me the command;)

@CyruS1337 you have to turn on 2 step verification (2 factor authentication aka 2fa)

@CyruS1337 I just setup the module and created my app key and email is working for me.

And my config: I also had to change fade to false in order for email to display properly

                module: 'email',
                position: 'top_right',
                header: 'Email',
                config: {
                         accounts: [
                                {
                                        user: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com',
                                        password: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
                                        host:'imap.gmail.com',
                                        port: 993,
                                        tls: true,
                                        authTimeout: 10000,
                                        numberOfEmails: 5,
                                }
                        ],
                        fade: false,
                        maxCharacters: 30
                }
        },

Good Morning

So I activated the 2FA and replaced the generated key with my password. I also took your config and added my username and password from 2FA. Unfortunately, as before, there is still “load” and it does not show any emails.
