ConnectionResetError: [WinError 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host (while accessing Gmail emails)

问题

i'm getting the title error when I'm trying to access my gmail emails using the imap-tools module of python. Below is the details as given during establishing the connection.

    Traceback (most recent call last):

I think the error is because of my gmail email secured with 2-step authentication. I want to keep my security for my gmail account same want to know a workaround to access my emails from my python program.

Here is my python code:

    from imap_tools import MailBox

gautham_gmail_box = MailBox('imap.gmail.com')
gautham_gmail_box.login('my_email@gmail.com','my_password')

I think you have to enable some unsecure access to your Gmail before you can access it this way, but I'm not sure.

IMO, you're much better off using Google's official library to access Gmail using Python. Visit https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/python to learn more about this.
