Hello

At the moment there is an action to send mail. This is realized with gmail.
I do not use and do not plan to use gmail.
I use my own exchange server.

Do you plan to expand the possible mail providers?

Hi,

It's on my list of features under consideration however it's quite low priority since I fear that people will use all kind of strange mail servers I can not test so I expect that it requires too much support.
There is at least one plugin available that seems to be able to send mails using arbitrary servers: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... mailsender

Regards,
Martin

I'd love to be able to configure some random SMTP server myself. GMail is okay, but I don't want the GooGod snooping on everything I do. I run a number of mail servers myself and need to select among them depending upon which role in which domain I'm operating at the time. Admittedly, I'm a non-typical case, but it'd be great if I could do that.

SMTP is a simple enough thing, even with TLS, and supported by open source libraries. I'm not a mobile app developer, but I do Unix/BSD/Linux server-side stuff for a living and have yet to be stumped by any widely deployed MTA. I'd be glad to give you pointers about how that stuff works, if you'd like or need it. It's pretty much a case of just doing as the RFC's say unless/until you move to the POP/IMAP retrieval side where the demigods play.
