Hello Richard,

I'm not completely sure what the suggestion is.  The current text is:

---------------
Gmail set up

In gmail, go click the gear icon, go to "Settings", go to the tab
"Forwarding POP/IMAP", and click "Enable IMAP", then click on "Save
Changes".

Then click the "Configuration instructions" link at the very bottom of the
page. Note the outgoing mail server information in "Step 2", and copy it
into the .esmtprc file, as shown in the next section.

Next, make sure two-step verification is enabled on your gmail account,
then generate and use App Password.
---------------

What should it become?
