Hi guys I need some help I am following a Guide to feed my cat via email using a raspberry pi here is the link. http://storiknow.com/automatic-cat-feeder-using-raspberry-pi/ seems pretty straight forward but when I get two part two I put in my username and password and get this error below back and im an 100% sure I do not have the wrong username and password. any suggestions?
The Error I am Getting:
