Although I haven't used mailx or other CLI mail in ages, Google started providing "app passwords" for all non-google and non-Android access quite a while back. Now that 2FA i required, you'll need to set that up. I switched to 2FA when Google first provided it and when 2FA was still optional for using Thunderbird etc. Your mail program will need to be able to use OAuth 2.0, or turn on "less secure app access". https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en#zippy= https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en https://obrienlabs.net/mailx-send-linux-email-gmail/ -Ed
