Can you help me out, please? Thank you.

Can you provide more informations ?

When this happened ? (during installation, when looking for someone...)
What did you try ?
Can you provide a bigger stack trace or a screenshot of the error ? I dont even know which part of the code failed...

it happens after it's installed when i try to execute python3 mailfoguess.py.

It seems that the encoding I used for the banner causes the error. You can still use my tool with the option --no-banner until I fix this.

Thanks for reporting this.
