Email

To be able to use email notifications you need to add your SMTP configuration to your user attributes.

Tips:

Some SMTP servers require "From" field even if authorization is used. You need to set mail.smtp.from parameter to do that.
If you want to use Gmail service, you need to generate an application password or allow "less secure apps" in Gmail account settings.

Example SMTP parameters:

mail.smtp.host: smtp.gmail.com
mail.smtp.port: 465
mail.smtp.ssl.enable: true
mail.smtp.from: biketrax@gmail.com
mail.smtp.auth: true
mail.smtp.username: biketrax@gmail.com
mail.smtp.password: YOUR_PASSWORD
