How to test emails with mailpit

[giulio-perosino]

Hello,
I'm attempting to enable the Mailpit service. I have successfully initiated the container and can access the GUI on port 8025.
The documentation in docs/development.md lacks of instructions so has left me perplexed about the next steps. How do I configure my Frappe instance to connect with the Mailpit service?

Thank you.

You have to setup an outgoing email account with the server as "mailpit" and the port as 1025

Hello @WebsiteDeveloper, thank you for the assistance. To create an outgoing email account, I need to set up a domain, but I'm unsure about the values that need to be entered.

If I use "mailpit" as incoming and outgoing server and 1025 as port Frappe throws an error:
frappe.exceptions.ValidationError: Error connecting via IMAP/POP3: b'220 ff15acf9ec27 Mailpit ESMTP Service ready'

You can only use mailpit as an outgoing server per default which you need to configure in the E-Mail Account Doctype not in E-Mail Domain
If you want to use incoming Mails you would need to change the mailpit config see https://mailpit.axllent.org/docs/configuration/pop3/
