# Mail Settings

You can access the SMTP settings from [**Global Settings**](/v1/docs/global-settings)

In the Mail Settings screen, you can set up SMTP to send emails to users within the system, such as emails that will specify a user will need to verify their account.

When you first open ScaffoldIQ, this section will be blank. An admin user will need to complete this section with their SMTP settings.

Below is an example of an SMTP server set up on ScaffoldIQ.
