 * I just installed and activated Postie v 1.9.47
    Test Config fails. Please help.
 *     ```
       Postie connection: sockets
       Postie protocol: imap-ssl
       Postie server: imap.gmail.com
       Postie port: 993
       Unable to connect. The server said: IMAP - Could not connect to IMAP server imap.gmail.com on port 993. Array
       (
           [0] => A0002 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure)
       ```
   
 * The IMAP for my gmail account is enabled
 * The less secure apps is also enabled
 * I don’t know why it doesn’t work

 * All I can tell you is what gmail returned. Invalid credentials. I would doublecheck
   your email/password and verify less secure apps.
