Setting Up Gmail

[BamBamm]

I have read the manual, I have read several articles online, on this forum and on YouTube. They all are the same and I follow them exactly, but I get an error when I try to send a test email.

• Your test email could not be sent: (534, '5.7.9 Application-specific password required. Learn more at\n5.7.9 https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833 bc4sm4114327igb.2 - gsmtp')

And Google says that page doesn't exists.
I logged into my email from the browser, logged out, refreshed browser and relogged into Gmail typing my password. SO, I know the password is correct.

My from email: root@enterprise.freenas (basically whatever you want it to be, it's just the sender)
Mail server: smtp.gmail.com
username: [my username without @gmail.com] IE: "waco" not "waco@gmail.com"

Seems to just work.

Are you using 2 factor authentication? That's what the application specific password sounds like to me.
EDIT: From that URL, it looks like you need to create and use an application specific password. The instructions are on the page you just posted.

Yeah, I just found it... Sorry, too much BS going on!
