UPDATE 2022 :
to use IMAP/POP3 with SMTP at GMAIL you have to make 2 changes :

1)

2)

Turn 2 step verification ON​

3)

Create the so called App password​

note : if you used a mobile phone that does not exist anymore and you update it, on Google Account > Security, you have to wait 7 days...

reference

after all troubles when you want to connect a mail client with the gmail account, on App Passwords view, create new Mail & Custom (enter any name), add the generated password to mail client...

2023 - is not complex anymore, no menus just enter the app name and done
​

this solves the error response

Application-specific password required: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833​

now for example you can use the following .vbs to send an email

//src - https://blueclawdb.com/access-database/tutorials/access-email-gmail/
Public Function send_email()

Set cdomsg = CreateObject("CDO.message")
With cdomsg.Configuration.Fields
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2  'NTLM method
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smptserverport") = 587
