i almost sent this as a bug but then found an delayed email from Gmail about blocked access for security reasons.
i was getting this: "error: [ALERT] Please log in via your web browser: http://support.google.com/mail/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=78754 (Failure)"
trying server variations like imap.gmail.com, imap.googlemail.com, mail.google.com do not help.
you need to go to suggested https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and switch "Access for less secure apps" from "Disable" to "Enable".
