Nextcloud, Qbittorrent, Truenas and loads of other svcs take optional email credentials for sending alerts and other features (eg. password recovery for nextcloud).
What email providers do people usually use to make this process simple to set up? For example, Microsoft doesn’t allow basic auth anymore so it’s supposedly not possible to use via most of these setups, and some other services seem like they have a low inbox size (does this matter?)
you can selectively mark mails as read that don’t need attention anymore, and keep as unread those that do. how would you do that with ntfy, or messaging services? at most you can mark unread a whole topic or chatroom
and no, I don’t want to make gitea issues for every single alert. (though… why not?). it would be very fragile anyway I would assume
