Support to test send e-mail from SMTP config

[joubertredrat]

Hi guys,

Gitea (Gogs) have option to set SMTP as MTA, but don't have area to test if e-mail will be send. Today I need to use "forgot password" to see if SMTP is working properly.

I think that is good idea to add a option to send e-mail in admin area and simple send "Hello world" or other simple mail, this will help Gitea owner to see if is working fine configuration.

@tboerger can we move forward on this. testing configuration is IMO a must have feature

[tboerger]

We can move that into an earlier milestone of course if there are multiple people that would like to see that integrated.

Note: If somebody directly wants to work on an issue that is put into 1.x.x milestone just write a comment to the issue and claim it.

@tboerger slightly off-topic, but should we add to CONTRIBUTIONS.md that one should write claimed in the issue when one starts working on it? And if possible assign oneself/be assigned it? Perhaps a status/claimed-label would be nice ❓

[tboerger]

I think assigning a user should be enough

Isn't this feature already available? I just installed Gitea 1.0.1, and in the Admin Panel on the Configuration page under the Mailer Configuration tab, there is a text field (for email address) and button to allow sending a test email.

You are totally right.
