 * Plugin was working perfectly a week or so ago. Today I chose to update password
   for the gmail address. All my Postie settings are the standard ones or the recommended
   ones for gmail account. But I’m getting “The username and password provided were
   not accepted for the IMAP server imap.gmail.com on port 993”. I believe this 
   may be happening b/c of the most recent Postie update? Any suggestions – thanks!

 * P.S. Just to be clear, I had updated the password on the Postie settings of course
   and still getting the error.

 * I just tested my system which uses gmail and everything seems fine.
 * I suspect Postie tried to log in a number of times with the old password and 
   now gmail is preventing further attempts.
 * Try some of the options lasted towards the end of [http://postieplugin.com/postie-gmail/](http://postieplugin.com/postie-gmail/)
