You need to change the Server Type: POP Server to Server Type: IMAP Server.
Did you also enable your Gmail to allow Less secure apps to login to your Gmail?

Hello James,
I have switched the server type to IMAP and I have also enabled Gmail to allow less secure apps.
I have tried both POP and IMAP server but I get the same communication error.
Connection test failed: -3
Temporary failure in name resolution
