    Are you using Google's 2-step authentication process? If so you need to get a special dedicated password specifically for this application. See:

    Couple of hints - in setting up the forwarding on your orange account use your regular gmail login ID including ".gmail.com" and copy and paste the special one-time password that Google gives you into the application, as opposed to entering your regular password. Make sure you have enabled imap on your gmail account - see:
    https://support.google.com/mail/bin/...960&page=ts.cs
    The correct inbound gmail server is imap.gmail.com.
