If you mean that's the message your local email app is getting from |
| 17 |
gmail when trying to retrieve messages, I suspect it's the "less secure |
| 18 |
application" issue. If that's the case, then you either need to use |
| 19 |
OAUTH2 to authorize your mail client to Google, or else set the "OK to |
| 20 |
use less secure applications" through the settings through the gmail |
| 21 |
web interface. gmail simply calls any mail client which does not use |
| 22 |
OAUTH2 to be "less secure." |
| 23 |
|

If that's not the case, then we need a few more details about what's |
| 25 |
going on. |
