I got the same problem…
Hi, I am also having the same error. Please see below details:
Katalon Studio Version: 6.2.2
Build: 4
OS: Windows 10 Home Single Language
Email sending is working before. The last time it is working was July 18, 2019. I recently updated my Katalon version to 6.2.2 but I am not sure if this was the cause.
Thank you in advance!

Please follow this case
Hi all,
We will fix this in upcoming releases. As a workaround, please uncheck the checkbox “Use username as sender” and then check again to see if it works.
Regards.

Hi @huynguyen,
I am still getting the error.
Hello, this is working now, I just added an email address in the Sender field. Thanks! 
Basically this error occurs because the “Sender” field is empty by default (as “Use username as sender” is checked by default. One solution is like @huynguyen says, go to the Email Project Settings, uncheck the checkbox “Use username as sender” and then check again. This should fill up the “Sender” field with your email username so that field will no longer be empty. Or you can uncheck the checkbox “Use username as sender” and type in a sender name of your choice.
