Troubleshooting
Depending on your Gmail security, you may be left with this error when
running getmail:
getmailrc: credential/login error ([ALERT] Please log in via your web
browser:

(Failure))
0 messages (0 bytes) retrieved, 0 skipped
To bypass this Gmail security feature, one must enable access for
less secure apps
