GMail Email Notifications stopped working

Thread needs solution

Hi All,

 

This topic has been brought up before but it never affected me here in the USA.  I never used the 2 step login with GMail.  Today my email notification didn't work.  So I went to TI2016 and went to options for notifications, I tried send test message it failed.  I've been using SMTP.GMAIL.COM port 465 SSL, so I switched to SMTP.GMAIL.COM port 587 & TLS and test email worked, not sure what Gmail changed, I'll hopefully get my email notification in the morning of my backup!

Might not be 2step, but perhaps "less secure apps" feature in Gmail.  I recently had to do this for my LiveMail client as well.
