Setting up email accounts

Install / Update Setup
1

I’m trying to configure the email accounts in ERPNext v5.0.27 but it send me an error, my settings are the next:

  • Service: Gmail
  • Email ID: XXXXX@gmail.com
  • Password: XXXXX
  • Email account name: XXXXX
  • Enable incoming (checked)
  • POP3: pop.gmail.com
  • Use SSL (checked)
  • Attach to: Event
  • By default incoming (checked)
  • Enable outgoing (checked)
  • SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
  • Use TLS: (checked)
  • Port: 587
  • By default outgoing (checked)

When I click “Save” a pop up window appear and says “support username or password invalid, please check and try again”

Then shows this: “-ERR [AUTH] Web login required: Check Gmail through other email platforms - Gmail Help”
and it was not kept.

I’m pretty sure my username and password are the correct ones, I also did a Login into Gmail just to make sure the username and password are correct.

You know what is happening ?
