This is now fixed in two ways,

Dekko now integrates with online accounts and eliminates the "less secure apps" policy bloccking access.

And secondly if the user creates an IMAP account not through the google OA provider a dialog will appear with a link to the relevant google help page about allowing access for less secure apps
