Manage Outbound Email Profiles
##############################

Outbound email profiles are used to manage different email sending configurations. Each profile can have its own SMTP settings, sender address, and other email-related configurations.

.. important::
    
    To use this feature, it must first be activated by selecting the ``SendmailModule`` setting to ``Kernel::System::Email::MultiSendmail``. Once activated, you can create and manage multiple outbound email profiles. (see :ref:`admin_smtp_settings`  )

Navigate to Admin ->  Outbound Email Profiles to create and manage your email profiles.
