Google has phased out the "allow less secure apps" setting, that allowed connecting to your mailbox via IMAP/POP using your Google account password.

The fix is to enable 2-factor authentication for your Google account and then generate an "app password" like described here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

..and then use this app password for the IMAP/POP connection inside the helpdesk system.
