My gmail scripts suddenly stopped working as well. Apparently google stopped supporting applications that do not provide the required security level as from May 30.
However there's a workaround => enable the 2 step authentication in your google account and then create a specific application password for the app (LogicMachine/W4K) that you want to use without the need for 2-step authentication. Copy the password you created and use this as the password in your lua script in stead of your normal google account password.
This worked for me....

Hi,
I have the same issue and I'm glad I could find your answer. However, it does not appear to work for me. Even though I set up a new application password and put it in the email function parameter structure as regular password, I still get the following error:
534-5.7.9 Application-specific password required. Learn more at
534 5.7.9 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=InvalidSecondFactor [...]
Would you mind sharing what you put in the "server", "port" and "secure" fields?
Also, what is supposed to be in the "user" field?
Note that I have managed to send emails through another, less secure provider. I am still willing to use gmail though ; I believe 2 step auth is becoming a standard.
