From Filtering: Define for which email address or domain this server can be used.

When the authentication fails, there will be certain exceptions. Suppose you get a warning like Invalid Credentials (failure) [AUTHENTICATION FAILED] while testing your Gmail account, in that case, the less secure app gets the right of entry to an alternative to have to be activated.
