1.How to setup the email configuration in odoo

Email configuration is an important step when setting up your Odoo environment. It ensures smooth communication such as sending invoices, notifications, and automated emails directly from your Odoo system. In this guide, we’ll walk through the process of configuring the Outgoing Mail Server in Odoo.

Step 1: Enable Debug Mode

To access the technical settings, you’ll need to enable debug mode.

Open your Odoo instance and add ?debug=1 to the URL.
Example:

http://localhost:8069/odoo/settings?debug=1

This will allow you to see the Technical Settings menu, which is hidden in normal mode.

Step 2: Navigate to Outgoing Mail Servers

From the main Odoo dashboard:

1. Go to Settings > Technical > Email > Outgoing Mail Servers.
2. Click Create to add a new mail server configuration.

Step 3: Configure SMTP Settings

Fill in the details as follows (example for Gmail):

• Name: Enter a recognizable name (e.g., Gmail Server).
• Authentication: Choose Username Option.
• Connection Encryption: Choose SSL/TLS.
• SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
• SMTP Port: 465
• Username: Your Gmail address.
• Password: The password or app-specific password (if 2FA is enabled).

Step 4: Test the Connection

After entering all details:

1. Click Test Connection.
2. If the configuration is correct, you’ll receive a success message confirming that Odoo can send emails using this SMTP server.

Pro Tip:

• For Gmail, ensure that you have enabled App Passwords if two-factor authentication (2FA) is active on your account.

  you can search app password in email or go to the url https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

• Always use encrypted connections (SSL/TLS) to ensure secure communication.
