It is because Google blocks sign-in attempts from apps which do not use modern security standards (mentioned on their support page). You can however, turn on/off this safety feature by going to the link below: Go to this link and select Turn On https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps Moreover google block an ip when you try to send a email since a unusual location, so, you can unblock in the next link https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6009563 and clicked in accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha .
