*I've been using fetchmail ( 6.3.24) for some time with my gmail
accounts. Recently the login has started failing. The credentials work
when logging in from a browser. Here is my sanitized fetchmailrc:*

set logfile "/var/log/maillog"
set postmaster "mailman"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
defaults:
        timeout 240
poll pop.gmail.com
        proto POP3
        user "[email protected]"
        is mylocalmailbox
        password 'mypassword'
        preconnect "echo `date '+%b %d %H:%M:%S'` mylocalmailbox"
        ssl
        nokeep
        fetchall

*Here is the sanitized fetchmail log:*
