Is email working on Gmail for anyone?

[Zim]

cicciocb, a while back you said you had email working on gmail. Is it still working? If so, can you list the method step by step?

Thanks

I posted this somewhere previously and as far as I know it still applies.
My ESPs send two or three a day without problems.
This might be a good place to start :- https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/2544838

Google mail has become a bit more difficult recently with their "untrusted" device paranoia.
The Annex part is fairly easy - this should work if you have got the right info from google.
xxxxx in line 1 is first part of your gmail address.
jleoiwgdlgptdify in line 1 is the sort of string you have to obtain from your google account page google

email.setup"smtp.gmail.com", 465,"xxxxx","jleoiwgdlgptdify",1

msg$="Test999"

 r = 0
 subject$ = "ESP8266 message " + Date$
 r = EMAIL("fredbloggs@somewhere.com", "someone@gmail.com", subject$, msg$)
  If r = 1 Then  'it worked
    Print
    Print "Email sent on "; Date$; " at "; Time$
  Else
    Print
    Print "Email failed r="; r; " on "; Date$; " at "; Time$
  End If
