I have the proper user and password set up because when I click on the skin, it opens my account online. What I can't get to work is for it to show me how many unread emails I have. It just shows "searching" infinitely. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you.
I still can't seem to get it to work. This is the code I have. For the Gmail ID, I have used both with and without the gmail.com at the end, and neither works. I have also used an app password because of dual-step authentication.
Code: Select all
[MeasureMail]
Measure=WebParser
Flags=Resync | NoCookies
URL=https://#mj@gmail.com#:#************#@mail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom/
RegExp="(?siU)(.*)$"

DecodeCharacterReference=1
DynamicVariables=1
FinishAction=[!UpdateMeasure MeasureScript]I think you might have misunderstood the instructions. You don't need the "#" signs unless you are using variables to hold your username/password; the sample code assumes you are. Since you are hard-coding the URL, you need to use a valid string (i.e., remove the hashes)

To use variables as described in the post, use this (but check the skin to see if they are already defined first):Code: Select all

OMG. Thank you. Can you tell I'm new at this? I finally got it to work.
Personally, I don't use email featured skins at all, but apparently a potentially related issue has been recently encountered by someone else, see the discussion here:George Mi wrote: ↑September 27th, 2023, 10:10 am Hi guys.
I would like some help!
I tried everything, including what is described here, but none of the email icons indicate anything. I entered the password and username correctly several times. What could be my problem??? Can't it be that my firewall doesn't allow the program? I already set it up.
Thank you very much if anyone can help!
Follow the link posted by Yincognito above. There I described exactly what did I do, to get the once working, but in meantime stopped skin, to work again. It's a Google related setting you have to do.George Mi wrote: ↑September 27th, 2023, 10:10 am Hi guys.
