Sender profiles

Sender profiles define the email accounts used to send messages. Each profile contains authentication credentials and sender information.

Overview

A sender profile represents a single email account with:

• Profile name: internal identifier for the profile

• Display name: name shown in the recipient's inbox "From" field

• Email address: the email account to send from (must be valid and accessible via SMTP)

• SMTP credentials: authentication credentials encrypted with Fernet before storage

Profiles must be associated with a sending server and cannot function independently

Security

Tangled uses Fernet symmetric encryption to protect SMTP passwords. The FERNET_KEY is defined in your .env file. SMTP credentials cannot be retrieved after creation, and passwords are decrypted only when sending emails.

Keep your FERNET_KEY secure. If lost, all stored passwords will become unrecoverable.
