Starting at 2022-06-01 Google requires either an application password or OAuth2 for logging in. Check the Gentoo archives for a thread with sub- ject `Google and "fetchmail" + "ssmtp"ยด started by me at 2022-03-17. This thread refers to an article on the Web describing how to support OAuth2 for Fetchmail and Postfix and also contains a detailed descripti- on of my personal solution using OAuth2 with neither Fetchmail nor Post- fix, which still works.
