Looks like Gmail is gonna stop "less secure apps".
Is there a solution that anyone is aware of?
Thanks

Re: Is Gmail gonna stop our mailer function?
Hello Zim
I don't use gmail, but two different accounts from other free providers.
GMX.de and smtp2go.com do reliably good service with SMTP and send my regular messages from a Raspi and an ESP32 to a well watched mail account.
GMX asks from time to time to (re)enable the insecure SMTP protocol.

I already have a GMX email account that works ok with Thunderbird but I have never been able to get it to send from an ESPxx.
I would be grateful for any help...

Thanks PeterN. I tried smtp2go but it seems they only allow private domain email for their register. I wonder if cicciocb could tweak annex to satisfy the dual security requirements of Gmail?
Thanks

Re: Is Gmail gonna stop our mailer function?
OK - I have achieved a sent email using GMX - after a struggle.
Found that even copying from a live working program to a different module did not work.
I had to revert to version 1.43.4 as it would not work with 1.43.7 (ESP32)
Too late to do further testing tonight...
