Enable email settings from the interface

[peyrusse (PEYRUSSE Christian)]

Hello,

This is quite annoying to edit the app.yml file to edit email settings and the rebuild the app.

We already have a email settings screen that displays the information, what if we could update the information directly from this screen ?

Regards.

Hi, this question seems to have been answered before

Official reasoning may be much more sensible that mine but what I think is that SMTP is kept in the yml file because email is critical to discourse. You can not enter discourse as an admin without a valid email verification. Letting anyone register without any type of email verification is a risk in itself.

Also, people generally don’t change their SMTP settings very often once they have been set. I am an admin to sites running for over 8 years with no change to SMTP settings.
