How can I set up auto issue creation from gmail?

Question

I am trying to set up POP / IMAP mail servers currently configured for Jira.

However, the test failed and the reason is:

javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure) while connecting to host 'imap.gmail.com' as user 'jira-pmo@wavelet.net' via protocol 'imaps

I am not sure on what adjustments are need to be done to make sure the test does not fail.

Thanks

In my experience, yes. I know that gmail also allows application specific passwords but I’ve never tried that with Jira. I would test turning off that setting to test. This will at least confirm that’s the issue.

Dear Edwin,

Thank you for the feedback. Is it necessary to turn off the secure app setting?

I don't have a problem with other mail handlers, this is the first case.

Thanks

Hello @[deleted]

Have you already enable the Less Secure Apps in the Gmail account? This is usually a common issue with Gmail and Jira.

Once logged in to gmail with account, go to this URL to make the change of that setting.

I hope this helps and if it doesn't, let us know.
