Can you please verify that this library works against gmail presently? I have a gmail account, have enabled IMAP but:

   using (S22.Imap.ImapClient imap = new S22.Imap.ImapClient("imap.gmail.com", 993, "gene.l.thomas@gmail.com", password, S22.Imap.AuthMethod.Login, true))
  {
   }

throws

xm001 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure)
