[xwiki-devs] [Usability] Mail Server Configuration Profiles
Hi devs, What do you think about the idea of providing Mail configuration profiles that the user can select from? It would contain predefined values for the configuration. The most easy to test / accessible config is the Gmail one. See http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/IdeaMailProfiles Thanks, Caty

Sounds good to me. It’s a bit more than just profiles, it’s also a test button to validate the mail setting (which is nice!) ;) Thanks -Vincent
Thanks, Caty
I find this cool but this is another maintenance point. You might want to include 3-4 other providers and hide the values that are predefined by the choice. Actually, in order to go for a “tuned case”, you can easily select Gmail then select custom, the values should be then copied. It would be nice that the sender address is explained (and profilled) as a qualified sender with a full name (copied from the wiki name?). paul On 7 Mar 2018, at 15:05, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) wrote:

It's not clear how the administrator would add/save a new profile. On Wed, Mar 7, 2018 at 4:05 PM, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) <[email protected]

In this proposal there is no ability to create additional profiles, just to use common ones. You have just 2 that you can alter/save and reset to default. Thanks, Caty
