Good day! I am trying to configure mail2sms but it not working. The email is not fetched using imap.

Environment:
Ubuntu 18.04
Playsms 1.4.3
PHP7.2
PHP7.2-imap
Logstate = 3

From Gmail

  1. I tried to enable less secure apps but still the same issue.
  2. I generated an app password and used it for playsms but still the same issue.

This is the email email format I used:
To: smsclient@domain.com
Subject: ryan 1234 Test
Body: 63xxxxxxxxxxx

Did I miss anything? Appreciate your advise on this matter. Thank you!

Hi,

Just tested this and partially worked.

  1. Enable 2FA and add App password (shown with space, but paste in playSMS no space)
  2. Less secure set to OFF
  3. From gmail settings, enable IMAP

playSMS is like your screenshot, but Check email sender is set to no.

After that, I enable My Account -> My email to SMS and set the PIN.

And then, I sent email from another account for test like yours:
To: my email2sms gmail address
Subject: playsmsusername thepin SMS_content_here
Body: destination_number

By partially worked, the body needs to be quoted_printable_decode(), so I made these changes:

Change 1 to 1.1 and add quoted_printable_decode():

UPDATE:
no changes at all if you send from another Gmail, need more googling to handle email body :slight_smile:

And also I use playSMS 1.4.4 master version, but should be about the same for mailsms on 1.4.3

Hi Anton,

Appreciate your response on this. I have 2 servers, 1 on premise (my UAT system) and 1 in Digitalocean (for production implementation). I have done as advised on both servers but I still don’t see anything from the log that shows the email is being fetched from Gmail via IMAP.

Below are the steps I did:

  1. Added the quoted_printable_decode to fn.php
  2. Restart server
  3. Logged in as admin.
  4. Re enter the password under Settings > Manage email to sms. Save the config.
  5. Save and enable mail2sms from My Account > My email to sms. Logged out.
  6. Logged in as user (ryan) and enabled mail2sms from My Account > My email to sms. Logged out.

Sent 2 emails using the email address of user (ryan).
1st email (ryan):
To: smsclient@domain.com
Subject: ryan 1234 TESTEMAIL2SMS
Body: 63xxxxxxxxx

2nd email (admin):
To: smsclient@domain.com
Subject: admin 1234 TESTEMAIL2SMS
Body: 63xxxxxxxxx
