Answer 1

Minor addition to other answers.

My account have no 2-step verification, but with this solution I didn't have to log in from browser on YouTrack server machine, neither didn't have to enable less secure apps.

Config:

• SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
• SMTP Port: 587
• Mail Protocol: SMTP+TLS
• SMTP Login: user@gmail.com
• SMTP Password: ****** (account password)
• Select SSL key: (Nothing selected)
• From address: YouTrack

Next:

1. Try to send test email (the button right below youtrack config).
2. It will fail.
3. Now just login into google account from your regular browser.
4. You'll get a warning about recent blocked login attempt.
5. Open warning and verify the login attempt from IP of your youtrack server.

Done. Now you should be able to send test email successfully.
