In my experience, when using Gmail, you need to go into your google account in the security area and enable access to less secure apps.
At least that’s what I did for a personal project, but I don’t think it’s the best solution for a bot that will run in production, and I don’t think you should leave your gmail account accessible in such a manner without need, because it’s less secure.

Hey @rpa6 ,
for gmail you have to enable IMAP on your account settings:

  1. Sign in to your Gmail account by using a browser that is supported (Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari).
  2. Choose or click the gear icon (Choose the Gmail gear icon.) on the top right.
  3. Choose Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP .
  4. Select Enable IMAP , and then choose Save Changes .

Don’t forget to switch on the ‘less secure apps’ option:

  1. Click Security > Basic settings .
  2. Under Less secure apps, select Go to settings for less secure apps .
  3. In the subwindow, select the Enforce access to less secure apps for all users radio button. …
  4. Click the Save button.

For IMAP properties please use port 993 and server imap.gmail.com.

I think it will help :slight_smile:
