+1 at least for unread mails, bold is not visible enough

My configuration is slightly different, as I don't use pass separated, but have the credential coded in the configuration file

[GMAIL]
source        = imaps://<name>%40gmail.com:<PWD>@imap.gmail.com:993
outgoing      = smtp+plain://<name>%40gmail.com:<PWD>@smtp.gmail.com:587
default       = INBOX
smtp-starttls = yes
from          = <name><<name>@gmail.com>
copy-to       = Sent

Me neither afaik. I found it following the link in the email I received, it is called "third party access' or access for less secure appliations. Try looking for that option.

Hi, run into the same problem.

For me it appears to be a problem with Gmail not allowing less secure applications. I receive an alarm from google saying they blocked the attempt. Disabling that security check now allow aerc to connect.

Is there a way to make aerc connect without having to do so?
