   Start up your browser on your slackware computer and go to google, click   
   on "Manage your google account", click on "Security", make sure you   
   hve selected 2 factor authentication and look for the "App passwords"   
   entry, choose a name (which can be anything and is just something to   
   identify it for you) and generate a password.  I use the same app   
   password for fetchmail, postmail and mailx.   
      
   I can't say what you have done wrong and your last paragraph makes   
   no sense.  Just relax.  It looks as if you are working yourself up.
