SOLVED: Emails not showing

[giozthebest1]

Guys, I have finally figured it out why there is nothing showing! There are 2 MAIN steps you need to check:

1) As previous people mentioned, there is a problem with the code of ronny's, the HTML is not making it visible to show the emails because of the fading. so in the code which ronny posted, you need to have fade set as :false , like this :

---

Hopefully he will release a code that fixed this issue!

2) the second MAJOR problem is you need to make sure the email you are using is using the IMAP Protocol correctly, meaning that the in the config.js, the host provided will able to download the emails in the magicMirror, So far I heaven't figured out yet how to set up GMAIL accounts and Outlook accounts but Office365 accounts works properly to me, if you have an office365 account you should test it.

for office365 accounts, make sure in the config.js the host is : 'outlook.office365.com'

and yes, office365 accounts are not same as normal outlook accounts.

Of course there should be a way to do it for Gmail,Outlook, etc, I just need more time to google it,but the code is correct so don't mind doing your own research and post it here if you find a solution ! What matters that the code is working.

I have an office365 account so its good enough for me to present this project. This is a sample with my office365 email account:

Goodluck!
