Can't send e-mail with Gmail account

[yuripourre]

I followed the Send Mail Tutorial.

But I got an Exception:

default Postoffice implementation class ninja.postoffice.commonsmail.PostofficeCommonsmailImpl
...
org.apache.commons.mail.EmailException: Sending the email to the following server failed : smtp.gmail.com:465
...

Then I received a Google e-mail saying something like (translated):

Someone tried to login in your Google Account *myemail@gmail.com* with and app the does not meet the modern security standards.
...

Any hints?

Did you click on the link that logged you into your account? It's a security mechanism from Google and you have to confirm that way that it is a valid login... It will work then.. Cheers, Raphael

Thank you for the fast reply.

Yes, I solved it, as pointed in the link by google, changing my account to a less secure one.

I am enjoying the framework by the way. :smile:
