   The OP could log into the gmail account via the web, and obtain   
   an "app password" for "third party connections". The OP can then   
   use this "app password" as the gmail password in his mailx to   
   get remote access to the gmail mail store.   
      
   That's how I download my gmail mail: fetchmail logs on to gmail   
   with the "app password", and uses POP3 to retrieve my gmail   
   to my LAN mail server.
