Some of my old java application that used to be able to send out email via Gmail fails. This seems to be due to a security enhancement sometime back in Gmail.
We now need to explicitly allow less secure applications to connect to Gmail. In order to do that, we will have to
- Go to
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps - Check "Allow access for less secure apps"
Note that, this feature is not available for google account with 2-steps verifications enabled.
