Hi Sam, Have you enabled third party access from your gmail account? Please note that Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail all generally require you to allow third party software systems to connect to your email account to work. In other words there is a setting within your Gmail account on their website that you need to set to give permissions to programs like LandlordMax to connect and work. Although Gmail calls it allow less secure apps to connect to gmail, it's really just Gmail wanting you to use their standard rather than the email industry standards. The link to the instructions are: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en You can also read an article written by one of the original designers of the OAuth authentication used by Gmail at: http://hueniverse.com/2012/07/26/oauth-2-0-and-the-road-to-hell/ Basically both systems are pretty much the same in terms of security.
