Hello @shubham shinde,

Google is starting to lock down security settings for their services. In order to connect to a GMail account using the POP3/SMTP VBO you will need to create an App Password by performing the following steps on the specific account:

1. Go to your Google Account settings (https://myaccount.google.com/)
2. Under Security -> Signing in to Google, make sure 2-Step Verification is enabled. Note, you use to be able to create App Passwords without 2-step verification, but it seems that is no longer an option.
3. Once 2-Step Verification is enabled on the account, you should be able to create an App Password for use in Blue Prism. You can access App Passwords at the following link: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
4. Once you have the 16 character app password, go back to your Blue Prism process and use it as the password along with your GMail user ID.

Cheers,
