I am trying to connect my gmail to python, but show me this error:
I already checked my password, any idea what can be?
b'[AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure)'
Traceback (most recent call last):File "/Users/myuser/Documents/migrations/untitled3.py", line 29, in read_email_from_gmailmail.login(FROM_EMAIL,FROM_PWD)File "/Users/myuser/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/imaplib.py", line 612, in loginraise self.error(dat[-1])

Here my code:
Also i want to know which port I can use?

My main goal is be able to get the CSV file from each email, but for now I just want to read messages.
Best way to read email is using GMAIL API. Google has stopped accessing gmail account using username and password via any outside app from 30 the May 2022.
So this is how you read gmail from python.
What this app does:
- Read gmail message (Unread)
- Make the message as Read after reading the message

You need to create credential file in Google account
