I think I posted this a while ago asking for a way to get this working after 5/30. To be more precise, Google is doing away with the less
secure apps side of their email. Is there a way around this? I have

Mystic supports SSL (TLS 1.2) when sending e-mail. I don't know what Google's change is exactly (and I haven't tested it) so I cannot comment more.

Some people have told me they are using smtp2go.com for their SMTP with Mystic.

They haven't changed their protocols, just won't allow non secure apps to login anymore as of 5/30. No biggie, I am going to give Yahoo a shot because according to what I am reading they still have the less secure apps setup...

I can't really seem to find anything that specifies what the difference between a "more secure app" and a "less secure app" is on the Google site...

If I could figure out what they need I might be able to update it so it will continue to work. I guess I just need to find some time and get my fingers dirty trying it myself.

Let us know how Yahoo works out if you give it a shot. I know smtp2go.com was brought up a couple of times, but their free account is limited to 1000 emails per month (which is probably fine for most people).

I have tried their apps password, I have tried Yahoo, Hotmail all of
them have done away with Less Secure apps access, nothing works.. If you figure something out let us know.. :) Thanks Paul...

"Less Secure App" isn't really a meaningful thing its just a term
they made up I think. Mystic support TLS over SMTP which would
make it use secure protocols.

I am wondering if it just means that you have to register the
application with your Google account and they will give you a
client ID and password to login with. This is how Google does
things for home automations I think, so it might make sense here.

I am too busy again this weekend to work on it but I can try to
take a look next weekend. I have a lot of stuff going on outside
of work so my time off work is spent on other stuff right now :(

I have already answered this, and provided the solution, right here in
this message thread.
