Sylpheed e-mail client complains when trying to connect Gmail server:

534-5.7.9 Application-specific password required.

that error was removed when i disabled 2FA - 2 factor authentication at https://myaccount.google.com/security

error that appeared instead was: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.

then on https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps i enabled less secure apps access (was https://g.co/allowaccess needed?)

and then connection with the server worked!
