<br />
<br />
as a workaround you can for now change the authentication method in the IMAP
<br />
resource settings to use "PLAIN" authentication method instead of the "Gmail"
<br />
method. If you use 2FA, you will have to generate an app-specific password in
<br />
your Google account settings.
<br />
<br />
The request to approve Gmail access has been submitted weeks ago, but so far
<br />
no response from Google...
