Set up Email

To setup email with your |RCE| instance, open the default :file:`/home/{user}/.rccontrol/{instance-id}/rhodecode.ini` file and uncomment and configure the email section. If it is not there, use the below example to insert it.

Once configured you can check the settings for your |RCE| instance on the :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Email` page.

Please be aware that both section should be changed the [DEFAULT] for main applications email config, and [server:main] for exception tracking email
