You should use App Passwords in order to access the emails https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833
@miljushm Thanks. This gist was created 7 years ago. Only for my tests and fun. I don't want to change anything.
You don't need to change anything because it works well, I just left the comment for the future in case somebody like @motsmanish has the issue with the login to Gmail (it now requires App Passwords) ;)

Even with the correct email password, Throws error: Error : Can not authenticate to IMAP server: [ALERT] Please log in via your web browser: https://support.google.com/mail/
And at the same moment got email from Gmail, that you some less secure app tried to access your account.
It seems one must change settings in Gmail to allow less secure app and then IMAP will work.
