Google stops "less secure" apps access on May 22nd #872

Starting May 30, 2022, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password... Will node-imap still be working with Gmail?

Sure, use oauth2 for authentication instead. See the documentation for the xoauth2 option in the readme.

Rigel772 commented 2 years ago

From xoauth2 issues: "This library has been unmaintained for the last 7 years. Both Google and Microsoft have their own OAuth authentication libraries now, so there is no need for the xoauth2 library..." - I understand it does not work with Gmail. Maybe the Readme should be updated?

@Rigel772 I need to implement xoauth for gmail also. Do you find a solution?
