 Sign-in attempt prevented.

 Hi Amol,
    Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account test123@gmail.com from an app,
    that doesn't    meet modern security standards.

   Google stopped this sign-in attempt, but you should review your recently used devices:

Any help??

Google's advice is as follows: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

However, if someone knows how to conform to Google's "security standards", it would be nice to integrate into this gem.

However, for something like this, maybe OAuth is the way to go. Credentials are becoming less of a trusted source anyway....

As of version 0.7.0 (Aug 19, 2018) this gem is officially deprecated and will no longer be maintained. Please instead use Google's official Gmail API Ruby Client, which uses the Gmail API rather than IMAP and has significantly better performance and reliability.
