Node IMAP Extension Gmail and Hotmail

[jmartland22]

Hi,

Wonder if anybody can help

I am trying to get @Hyperbytes IMAP extension (which looks awesome) working with a gmail or hotmail account.

Custom Modules - IMAP eMail Mangement (node) (Build you own webmail)

Wappler IMAP extensions Overview IMAP is considered an email standard but in reality there can be a lot of variaion between how IMAP servers deal with folders. This is Node only. Sadly, the php_imap component is no longer bundled from PHP version 8.4 so it is not feasible to produce the PHP version I hoped to develop. Consider these docs beta also, i will tidy up over next few dayse I hope to release some support videos soon. Please note, schemas may change during this initial phase wher…

I keep hitting a 401 error so unauthorised. It looks like google and hotmail only allow Oauth2 now. Does anybody know if it’s possible to use oauth 2 with this extension?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

[Hyperbytes]

Google is a pain re IMAP, there are so many quirks regarding settings which need to be enabled/ disabled to get it to work.
I will look into it but i also suggest you google the issue as you may find the error is actually resulting from your account configuration.

P.S. i am aware of a data schema issue with the get headers routine, the defined schema in the extension no longer matches the IMAP module output. It is on the list to fix but short term, you may need to have code the output mappings in App Connect

Thanks @Hyperbytes .

Done abit of googling and it looks like you can use a ‘app password’ for both gmail and hotmail but the basic auth with normal password won’t work anymore. Going to give the app password a try .

Managed to get this working for Google by making a ‘app password’ following these instructions Sign in with app passwords - Gmail Help .
