If you are using G-Mail as your E-Mail provider then they have/are stopping connections via IMAP and will be forced to use Modern Auth OAUTH instead. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

G-Suite now requires Oauth2 authentication. You can get around this by craeating an application password to connect but it requires configuring 2-factor authentication. This is done through the security settings of the account in question.
