As the title suggests - how important is it to change the email address.

And what should I change it too?? Especially if my email is ProtonMail which is not really supported by Nextcloud mail app.

Thanks

You can’t just use other people’s mail address. Use your own, get a dedicated mail address for that purpose. I suppose it’s the mail address to send out notifications?

it’s only to receive notifications, you don’t need the mail app, NCP comes with postfix

Well, per default you start in the Nextcloud logfiles. If there is a mailserver on the NCP, you can check this logfile as well. Regarding Nextcloud sent mails, you can enable a debug mode for logging:

github.com

nextcloud/server/blob/master/config/config.sample.php#L351-L356


/**
 * Enable SMTP class debugging.
 *
 * Defaults to ``false``
 */
'mail_smtpdebug' => false,

Thank you for your reply - but I am not sure about what to do with it…

Reading the Email settings in NCP docs - I replaced admin@owenyourbits.com with my email - Administration > Basic Settings > Email server. I sent a test email but it did not arrive. My send mode is Sendmail and the sendmail mode is smtp(-bs).
Is it possible that it does not work with ProtenMail??

According to @nachoparker it seems like it does not need to be a complicated thing.

Ok,

It works with hotmail.
not with ProtonMail.
Thank you
