# Email setup

- To use Gitea's built-in Email support, update the `app.ini` config file [mailer] section:

```ini
[mailer]
ENABLED = true
HOST    = mail.mydomain.com:587
FROM    = gitea@mydomain.com
USER    = gitea@mydomain.com
PASSWD  = `password`
```

- Restart Gitea for the configuration changes to take effect.

- To send a test email to validate the settings, go to Gitea > Site Administration > Configuration > SMTP Mailer Configuration.
