I started experimenting with the Magic Mirror a few days ago, setting up something for my mother in-law, who is now 80+.

The idea of sending messages to her magic mirror is really attractive.

I have everything configured, and email seems to be downloading. It shows in the log file
0|mm | [10.03.2024 11:45.10.898] [LOG] MMM-MailMessage-Helper: Mailbox Closed: INBOX
0|mm | [10.03.2024 11:45.10.944] [LOG] Mail-Seach complete
0|mm | [10.03.2024 11:45.11.569] [LOG] 8 Mails fetched

I believe the configuration shown on the git page is slightly wrong, where the commas should be outside the closing curly bracket and not inside.

{ module: 'MMM-MailMessage', position: 'middle_center', header: 'Email - Mirror Messages', config:{ user: 'MMemail@mydomain.com', pass: 'password', host: 'mail.mydomain.com', port: 993, subjectlength: 50, validSenders: [ { addr: "dad@mydomain.com", name: "Dad", color: "#00ff00", } { addr: "mom@mydomain.com", name: "Mom", color: "#ff0000", } { addr: "son@mydomain.com", name: "Billy", } { addr: "nana@mydomain.com", name: "Nana", } ], daysToDisplay: 0, msgsToDisplay: 2, colorText: "#0000ff", }, },

I have changed that, and obviously the email addresses, nicks and tried a few different colours, but I am not getting any messages on the MM. What could I be doing wrong here?

@johanPO said in MMM-MailMessage a question about the list of approved senders:

validSenders: [ { addr: “dad@mydomain.com”, name: “Dad”, color: “#00ff00”, }
{ addr: “mom@mydomain.com”, name: “Mom”, color: “#ff0000”, }
{ addr: “son@mydomain.com”, name: “Billy”, }
{ addr: “nana@mydomain.com”, name: “Nana”, }
],

I don’t KNOW… but this is misconfigured

validSenders: [

means a comma separated list of things

in this case the thing is a sender info object

{ addr: “mom@mydomain.com”, name: “Mom”, color: “#ff0000”, }

so the list would look like

validSenders: [ { addr: “mom@mydomain.com”, name: “Mom”, color: “#ff0000” }, { addr: “son@mydomain.com”, name: “Billy” }, { addr: “nana@mydomain.com”, name: “Nana” } ]

I always try to put the [ and ] on separate lines to make them more visible
