You can follow the url that gmail provides in the error and you will *eventually* discover that you need to allow "less secure apps" (which is a bit of FUD); but here's the direct link:
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
You will need to log into each account that you have in PP and enable "less secure apps"

Thanks Jeff, works like a charm, its the first time I had to do it. =D>

Gmail gives me even a hard time even when my provider changes my IP address,(often) I have to change my gmail password each and every time . :evil:

I've allowed "less secure apps" to all my Gmails as suggested and PP still show the annoying
error message for every single one of them.

No problem with my lone Hotmail account.

Please help, thank you. [-o<

Nevermind, I updated the webmail plugin as instructed and it's all cool.

Thanks again for the PP! It's seriously really respectable. Couldn't function without it.
