Hi @Ahmad Wasem Sharifi 

If you're interested in applications that integrate Gmail into Jira, then try the application that my team released - Email&Tasks: Jira Cloud for Gmail.

It will help you create tasks automatically and manually from your email inbox.

✅With Gmail for Jira Cloud Add-on, you also can:

• Search and edit any issue.
• Add comments to tasks.
• Log your work time without switching to Jira.
• Smart search by converting plain text to JQL query

Here's a 30-day trial for you to test and evaluate the app to see if it suits your needs.

I had a similar issue while setting up my email handler and was also using Gmail. After some research, I found out that the host name and port number vary depending on the type of email account you have. For Gmail, the host name should be smtp.gmail.com, and the port number is usually 465 or 587. But here's a tip that might help you out: have you considered using PVA accounts? I got some Gmail accounts from them, and they really helped me with the same task. It's a great way to avoid any possible issues with your personal email account and keep your work and personal stuff separate.
