HG email not sending

[Tuicemen]

fi closes the if statement the install is meant to be done from home/pi not /usr/local/bin that's why things whet side ways

[mike]

Oh.  OK.  Well I am a gluten for punishment;  I am going to run all 3 install commands, just one at a time.

Starting in directory usr/local/bin...

sudo wget https://github.com/genielabs/HomeGenie/releases/download/v1.2-stable.34/homegenie_1.2-stable.34_all.deb

is installed as I write this.   Put a bunch of nonsense in the directory, all 0 file lengths...

oh well, on to 2nd command,       sudo gdebi homegenie_1.2-stable.34_all.deb

It is working on it...

[Tuicemen]

you are a gluten for punishment 
sudo wget https://github.com/genielabs/HomeGenie/releases/download/v1.2-stable.34/homegenie_1.2-stable.34_all.deb should only put one file in the folder, that being "homegenie_1.2-stable.34_all.deb"

[mike]

holy crap.  holy holy....

new install.  used the BAD option data for gmail that I THOUGHT worked once:  port 587 PLUS SSL.

HG just sent me an email!

[mike]

What do I need to do to make this set of data STICK?  make a backup of course, but  if I do a reboot of pi right now I totally expect to loose these settings and loose email capability....

FYI.  NOTE the owner 2000 (default if not root on ALL files on your last SD image)

Do a back up but also do a service restart from inside HG this will insure settings are saved. Don't get impatient and reboot, if anything just refresh your browser.
Since you didn't have any email settings entered prior it has nothing to revert to.
However a backup of your old settings could mess with that by re-introducing the issue that was preventing a change prior.
The User 200 may be related to how WinSCP shows owner ship.
I've never used that the HG install on the image was done exactly as you just did so I'm at a loss as to what it means.

[mike]

I want to thank everyone for your continued help!    My HG is emailing finally!  Yahoo!  Copying the account data over did not fix it by itself after restarts and reboots.  BUT UPGRADING HG FROM STABLE.37 TO STABLE.39 DID FIX IT!

[Tuicemen]

Glad to see you finally got it working!

FWIW, it appears that if you use an image for too long, support will be dropped.  My install was based on Wheezy and some repositories dropped support years ago.  Be aware that if this image is successful (never needs touching for a very long time), you may have issues running the update/upgrade at some point since you are basing the image on Stretch which will eventually lose support too.  Just FYI...
