So gmail provide the ieee email service;
I suspect that that means you have to follow the gmail login steps.

   Beginning September 30, 2024: third-party apps that use only a password
   to access Google Accounts and Google Sync will no longer be supported
(that page also mentions a June 15 cutoff date).

I understand that this will leave just three options:

App Passwords https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833

OAuth,

or forwarding the messages to a sane email service
(which I would not wish to do with an ieee address,
because that is just wrong).
