How to Configure a Mail Server in Odoo 16

Functional Odoo 16

One of the most important features of Odoo is email configuration. Using the outgoing mail server in Odoo, we can send/receive emails within Odoo itself without using any external email services. For this, we have to configure Odoo’s mail server successfully.

In this blog, we are going to discuss how to configure outgoing and incoming mail servers in Odoo 16

For this, first of all, we have to go to the Settings menu. Only administrators have access to the settings, so please make sure that we log in as administrators to configure the mail server.

We have to activate the developer mode in order to view the Technical view under Settings, as shown in the screenshot below.
