dennisgorelik1) Today (2020-05-04) my email client (The Bat 9.1.18 Professional) - lost ability to receive or send emails from our corporate @postjobfree.com email addresses [that G-suit handles for us].
The Bat started to return "Server reports error. The response is: 5.7.0":
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!2020-05-04, 06:18:43: SEND - Server reports error. The response is: 5.7.0 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=WantAuthError h188sm3660946qke.82 - gsmtp
2020-05-04, 06:18:43: SEND - connection finished - 0 message(s) sent
2020-05-04, 06:18:43: SEND - Some messages were not sent - check the log for details
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Times are in EST)
2) The reason for this error is that Google [temporarily] stopped supporting "Less Secure Apps" in G-Suite (which we use to manage postjobfree.com emails).
3) This instruction: https://hotter.io/docs/email-accounts/secure-app-gmail/ is now obsolete.
"Less secure app access panel" no longer exists on https://myaccount.google.com/security page.
4) Actually, less secure access to Gmail works again, but, most likely, only temporary.

Last December, we announced that we’d be turning off less secure app (LSA) access to G Suite accounts, and that you should migrate to OAuth authentication instead. The first phase of the LSA turn-down was scheduled for June 15, 2020. As many organizations deal with the impact of COVID-19 and are now focused on supporting a remote workforce, we want to minimize potential disruptions for customers unable to complete migrations in this timeframe.
As a result, we are suspending the LSA turn-off until further notice. All previously announced timeframes no longer apply.
...
Despite these timing adjustments, Google does not recommend the use of any application that does not support OAuth.
=======
5) This is the fix for this The Bat - Gmail issue:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
https://www.ritlabs.com/en/news/6777/
To configure OAuth for existing Gmail or Mail.Ru accounts in The Bat!, users should access the "Account -> Properties -> Transport -> Receive mail -> Authentication" menu, enable "OAUTH (using Web Browser)" and save changes. The Bat! will remove the password from the account and apply the modern authentication mechanism to send and receive messages.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Click "Authentication":
Switch from "Regular" to "OAUTH (using Web Browser)":
6) The Bat works again.
7) The next step - is to switch our PostJobFreeService C# code that works with Gmail over [secure] Smtp/Pop3 to OAuth.
