    You have to enable pop3/smtp usage in options when logged in. / For password use APP Password what you have to define and not the gmail password

    For password use APP Password what you have to define and not the gmail password

    @Sven i already through google account's interface 4 times and even did a search but there is no option to add an App Password...

    Kinda late here, but to generate the app password you need 2FA enabled for gmail.

    Create & use app passwords

    Important: To create an app password, you need 2-Step Verification on your Google Account.

    If you use 2-Step-Verification and get a "password incorrect" error when you sign in, you can try to use an app password.

    1. Go to your Google Account.
    2. Select Security.
    3. Under "Signing in to Google," select 2-Step Verification.
    4. At the bottom of the page, select App passwords.
    5. Enter a name that helps you remember where you’ll use the app password.
    6. Select Generate.
    7. To enter the app password, follow the instructions on your screen. The app password is the 16-character code that generates on your device.
    8. Select Done.

    If you’ve set up 2-Step Verification but can’t find the option to add an app password, it might be because:

    Tip: Usually, you’ll need to enter an app password once per app or device.

    I recently tried Gmail, everything was working fine and then:

    Its pretty useless, pretty quickly its obvious that no human behavior is going on in that account also giving them your links and account info is probably not good idea so it got shut down.

    Also they have access to many other footprints that can work against your efforts now.

    Whatever you doing IDK but using that service may not be a great idea in SER long term.

    There are ways to use while not violating there service agreement I bet

    Yeah it wasn't warmed up or anything, I just used it to see if it got me more links from places or got approved more etc.
