After "Send this email? ([y]es|[n]o|[q]uit|[a]ll): y" prompt and

clients" are allowed in Gmail settings.
I experience this both with @gmail.com mailbox and with gmail-based
company domain mail.
I noticed this happening the first time several months ago.
Has anybody else experienced this? Any solution?
My git version is 2.6.4.

Does it work better if you store the (preferably app-specific) password in

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
