I cannot access to setup app passwords even after having less secure apps turned off for 24 hours
Google sucks with a lot of their bullshit and I am tired of it all
I appreciate all your help and would like to see this script (check-gmail.py) working but my patience has run out
Hopefully in the long run the original issue with python and urllib/libssl will work itself out and the original gmail-parser.py can be used again
I think you will also have to enable 2-Step Verification in order to use 'App Passwords'. You can set-it-up here,
