I'm using "Easy WP SMTP" plugin in order to set-up Gmail SMTP. I'm provided with a Gmail account to do so. 



  SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com

  Type of Encryption: SSL

  SMTP Port: 465

  SMTP Authentication: Yes

  SMTP Username: xxxxxxxxx

  SMTP Password: xxxxxxxxx


When I'm trying to send a test email, I got from WP:

SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.CLIENT -> SERVER: QUIT

SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.



and an message from Google to the email:
"Sign-in attempt was blocked
Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account from a non-Google app. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened. Review your account activity to make sure no one else has access."



Please help if you have experienced.

          Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

          Image
          up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx...
