Trying to setup reply by email on a self hosted server useing this guide, step 5 Visit the Discourse settings and check the Email tab, I assume Admin > Emal > Email Settings step 6 Change the following settings: Where are these settings? I can’t find them anywhere, probably missing something real…

I don’t think you need to do anything with that? Are you still looking for the settings? YourSite/admin/site_settings/category/email

I don’t think I can see them on that page either. :thinking: I think the easiest way to find them may be going to ‘All Site Settings’ and then pasting them into the filter box at the top to pull them up that way. :crossed_fingers:

[이미지] Set up reply by email with POP3 polling Visit the Discourse settings and check the Email tab. Ah, I see. I think the guide is referring to the email tab within ‘all site settings’ rather than the email settings page.

OK cool, next silly question, where will I find the config/site_settings.yml file?

Found it thanks, no get an error, all server settings are entered but when I apply I get this. [Screenshot 2025-05-28 104616]

Just going round in a circle now [Screenshot 2025-05-28 105156]

So enabling POP3 polling enabled was finally successful? I think you need to enable that before enabling reply_by_email_enabled. The generic_error message isn’t very helpful. Is there something more helpful in /logs?

I think you get a more generic error if the details aren’t right when it tries to do a test run? It might be worth double-checking you have entered all the correct details. For the other reliant settings, you get a much more descriptive hint if you try and enable one ‘out of order’.

No, can’t enable it just get Sorry, an error has occured, if I try to enable Reply by email first I get the in the screenshot, if I try the other way round same thing.

Double checked and triple checked, copy/pasted and typed, can log in to email no problem and pop works in outlook no problem.

그거에 대해 특별히 할 일이 없는 것 같지 않나요?

아직 설정을 찾고 계신가요?
