"Web login required" error for gmail #116

I'm attempting to write an app that checks my gmail, but I'm getting the following exception:

* NO [WEBALERT <<long link>>] Web login required.

When I visit the link provided, it says "Google prevented a sign-in from a less secure app". I was able to note in my Google account that that device is trusted, but it still does not work and I still get the same error.

Any ideas? I have the SSL flag set to true on the initialization of the ImapClient.

You need to configure gmail to allow "insecure access" for IMAP.
The link tries to explain that you need to jump thru quite a few hoops before it works. (had the same thing with smtp not long ago)

I googled configure gmail to allow "insecure access" for IMAP and followed the instructions.
