 From later in their email, on 30 May, "Google *will* no longer [...]" 
(emphasis mine). From their email:

"To help keep your account secure, Google will no longer support the use 
of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google 
Account using only your username and password. Instead, you’ll need to 
sign in using Sign in with Google or other more secure technologies, 
like OAuth 2.0."

Options include either using client software that supports OAuth2 (such 
as Thunderbird) or enabling 2FA on your Google account to get access to 
App Passwords for client software that does not yet support OAuth2 (such 
as K-9 Mail).

Kind regards,
