I'm trying to send myself a mail on my Gmail address, using PhpMailer on a WAMP local server. Here is my code:

            require('PHPMailer-master/class.phpmailer.php'); 
            include("PHPMailer-master/class.smtp.php");

            [...]

            $mail = new PHPMailer();
            $mail->isSMTP();
            $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
            $mail->SMTPAuth   = true;
            $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
            $mail->SMTPDebug  = 2;
            $mail->Port = 465; 

            $mail->isHTML();

            $mail->Username = "myself@gmail.com";
            $mail->Password = "mypassword";

            $mail->SetFrom('myself@gmail.com', 'Myself Myself');
            // I get the destination address from a simple form, which I'm sure works.
            $mail->AddAddress($_POST['email'], $_POST['name']);
            $mail->Subject = 'Welcome';

            // Message
            $mail->MsgHTML('Test');

            if(!$mail->send()) {
              echo 'Error : ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
            } else {
              echo 'Message sent !';
            }

But I get the following errors on the debug log:

On my Google Account, I changed the security paramters to accept "less-secured applications". I also tried to change to SSL with port 465, it did not work either.

There seems to be something going on with OAuth, but I have no idea what to do. I checked similar questions on StackOverflow, but none of the given solutions work for me.

If someone could help be with that, I would be very grateful. Thank you very much.
