Email: "Send test email" button

Feature Discussion
1

First, I might just not have found the option, but I couldn’t see the existing configured email address for my logged in user. Even on the change email page, I would have expected to see the existing email address, if any, shown to me.

Second, there really needs to be a “send test email” button so that (a) I can verify the users email that I just typed in, and (b) so that the server’s email settings can be verified without having to set up a contrived scenario where an email would be sent, and then hope that it wasn’t some other issue why the email wasn’t received :slight_smile:

As it is, I’m getting this error and I’m not sure why:

022-10-02T19:27:30.236399157-03:00: ERROR      ▶ mail/func1 348 Error closing the mail server connection: %s
 not connected to SMTP server

I’m able to send mail from other docker containers using the same settings.

You mean to verify the email for the user? When you change the email you should get a verification email as if you just registered for the first time with that email address.

For general purpose email testing there’s the vikunja testmail command.
