not able to send or receive email notification for backups

Hello,

I am trying to use XSIbackup for the first time and executed the command with --test-mode=true to test the email notification. I am using my gmail account here. However I keep on getting the below messages.

===============================================================================

I can login to my gmail account through browser. In the XSI backup command I am giving the same password in quotes so to me it looks I am doing everything correctly but still wondering why it is not accepting my credentials. Kindly assist.

You do need to enable [b]Less Secure Apps[/b]: [url]https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en[/url] for your gmail.com account.
