I used Ewen Wannop (aka Speccie)'s SAM2 email client, running under GSOS 6.0.4.
This should also work with GSOS 6.0.1.

the email on the Gmail server (this can be changed if desired.)

## Obtaining App Passwords from Google
Google provides a mechanism to allow non-Google apps to connect to Gmail
called *App Passwords*.
Google's help page is [here](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en)
In order to use the App Passwords method of authentication 2-Step Verification
must be turned on for the account. This is the general approach:
- In a web browser log in to the Gmail account and go to
[Google Account](https://myaccount.google.com/).
- In the panel on the left, choose *Security*.
- Enable *2-Step Verification* for the account.
- The option *App Passwords* will now appear. Select this option.
- At the bottom, choose *Select app* and enter a descriptive name for
the app.
- Choose *Select Device* and choose the device.
- Click *Generate*.
- A 16 character App Password will be shown on the screen. Write this value
down because you will need it later in the configuration.
I generated two separate App Passwords - one for SMTPS and one for IMAPS.
