Am supposed to get emails from my gmail account and display them in the html as seen in the code above. Please guys let's show some love.
Well the problem is not from my code but originally when saying unreachable, It was based on a closed port 993. And on getting the certificate error and Authentication failure invalid authentication. That's on Gmail's end. I don't know if turning on less secured app will resolve the issue cos I can't find it either. I mean Gmail don't support authenticating with plain text as email and password. They use OAUTH and if you which to connect to Gmail you mucst use it else Gmail won't connect. I found out after so many attempts. Hope this helps other frustrated users. If you need to get gmail connected use OAuth which works fine in my case.
