For some reason that eludes me at the moment I have been getting an error of failed to log into POP3 server. I think the problem is something to do with the less secure apps. I have looked at my account.google.com/lesssecureapps to check this is set to on but that option has been removed. Does this mean the end of mail washer or is there a work around please.

Sorry Zeker, went all through this in 2019 when this topic was posted. I thank you for reading about my problem anyway.

Yeah, when this option gets removed, you need to create an App Password instead

Main GMail password stays the same, this is just to use in MailWasher.

That was three years ago. The current situation and solution is described in more recent posts in that thread.

Wow Rusticdog you have saved my sanity again. This explanation worked for now at least. Thank you so much.
