Failed to connect to server - gmail

[Skewsy]

I have 2 gmail Imap accounts.
One is still working but the other one has recently failed with the "Failed to connect to server" message.
I've checked all the setting several times but can't figure out why it suddenly stopped working.
Any advice welcomed.

Double check Less Secure Apps is turned on here https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps

Optionally, if you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled, create an App Password to use in MailWasher for that account https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en
