This may be due to Mail.ru's security policy, which requires you to use a separate password specifically created for access from third-party services.

To create a password, please do the following:

Open your Mail.ru account settings in your browser and go to "Settings" → "All settings" → "Security"

Go to the "Passwords for external applications" setting
