Yes, that should mean it should be removed after 5 minutes. It’s possible that it’s not checking that as often as it should. I’ll look into it.

To be honest, I’m not sure what controls how often it looks at that sort of thing – I think a new e-mail arriving triggers an update but I’m not sure. I may have to implement a timer of some sort (though I have no idea how to do that as yet).

The downside is that I don’t want it to check for e-mail too often as it may be viewed as a hacker/spammer. I’ll see what I can figure out.

The possibility to see a running text (like a newsticker) would be nice……

I have actually thought about that and started looking at
MMM-NewsFeedTicker to try and figure it out. It shouldn’t be hard but my knowledge of CSS is virtually non-existant.

I got rather busy with other stuff and was unable to follow through on that but at some point I will pick it up again.

I did a quick test with my wife’s school google e-mail and didn’t work for me either. I googled around and found that gmail doesn’t support plain imap anymore. (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255)

It appears you can set up a specific “app password”:

Instead you can enable 2-step verification in your Google account security settings (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839), then generate an application password to use instead of your regular account password (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833). – from https://support.google.com/mail/thread/221127207/

I’m not able to test that right now (I can’t muck up my wife’s work e-mail) but I will give it a bash as soon as I can.

I’ve updated the module list:

Apparently, GitHub’s automated abuse detection decided I was a bad guy and did indeed shadowban me. (They probably talked to my kids or something.) Anyway, it looks like it’s fixed now.

@KristjanESPERANTO I don’t know. I can see it just fine but it doesn’t seem to be accessible otherwise. I posted in the github community but have not received an answer yet. Searching for info turned up nothing so far.

Searching when not logged in won’t find it and I can’t even find my user. Maybe I’ve been shadowbanned or something? Can’t imagine why.

@UncleRoger Nice. Do you want to add it to the list of modules?

I should do that. I will do that. Thanks for the reminder.

@MZ-BER
FYI, I’ve published and posted in the modules/showcase forum.

I did the card thing per the template but it doesn’t seem to do anything. So the link to the github is: https://github.com/Unclearogre/MMM-MailMessage

Description:

This module checks an e-mail address for new e-mails and displays the subject line on the Magic Mirror. This allows you to post an announcement for all to see or provide information (current wifi password or soup-of-the-day?).

I wanted something like this decades ago (in the time of pagers) but the technology wasn’t available or accessible. Now we all have cellphones and text messages so this is likely not terribly useful but I still wanted to implement the idea.

I’ve tried to document it adequately and done my best to test it but do let me know if you have questions or find a bug.

@sdetweil said in How to let user change font size in config file?:

then showed them how to use custom.css

I’m afraid that would be like having a toddler show someone how to fly a helicopter. 8^)

I kinda understand the general idea of CSS but I certainly don’t know how to do anything with it. I’m really just sorta stumbling around picking up bits and bobs from other people and trying to MacGyver them into something functional.
