- [Usability] Mail Server Configuration Profiles (Mar 7, 2018) https://xwiki.markmail.org/message/lxhufckpzou6hhxy
Description
Requirement
Users don't know what is the format of the Mail server configuration. We should provide some examples, hints or links to the documentation. Since we've identified the most common setups, we could provide these configurations in a dropdown / select.
Proposal
Before
After - Local Profile
After - Gmail Profile
Documentation
Provide a link to the generic documentation in order to see examples with different possible values
Profiles
Provide values for predefined profiles that are used often, like Gmail.
Status
Clearly state if the mail server is functional or not. Also provide a functionality to test the server.
Reset
The profiles offer default values but these can be overwritten by the user with his own values (user, pass). The reset button resets the values to the initial ones.
