Late to this discussion, but if OP has 2FA enabled, he should use an app password. Doing so will enable (some of) Gmail's legacy app capabilities.
Unfortunately, IIRC enabling 2FA in the 1st place kills some IMAP or POP3(?) functionality that (some) legacy clients need anyway. As a result of all of this, I've just stuck to the web client for my own sanity. Of course, that might not be the best idea given the patch status of Firefox on OI (last I heard.)
