Console based email and Gmail, any luck?

Was trying to get it live via IMAP, and correct me if I'm wron but 
doesn't an app speciic password need me to respond to an 
SMS/notification on my phone every single time I want to use the 
password or not? Sources differ on this with some saying it does, others 
it doesn't


As for the scripts not working, they sent me to 400 or 404 errors, due 
to Google shifting thins around on their end. That's what I meant by not 
working
