One common requirement is disabling email notifications, particularly for actions like password resets. If you've ever wondered how to stop those automatic emails from being sent out, you're in the right place! In this guide, we'll go through the steps required to disable mailing in Odoo.sh version 14 and ensure a smoother experience for your project setup. Understanding the Problem In Odoo, mail notifications play a crucial role in keeping users informed about various events, such as password resets and other system alerts. However, during the initial setup of your Odoo project, you might not want to send these notifications, especially if you are still creating user accounts. This can be particularly important if you are setting up multiple users all at once. Solution: Disabling Mailing in Odoo.sh The good news is that you can easily disable mailing in Odoo.sh by configuring a few settings. Below, we’ll break down the process into straightforward steps for you to follow. Step 1: Setup a Mail Server Create a New Mail Server: Navigate to your Odoo mail server settings. Add a new mail server configuration. Set the name to localhost and leave the user and password fields empty. By doing this, you effectively configure a mail server that cannot send any emails. Step 2: Archive Other Mail Servers Go through your existing mail servers and make sure to archive all those that you don't want to use during this time. Alternatively, you can set them to a much higher priority number than your newly created localhost server. This makes sure that your new configuration takes precedence. Step 3: Managing Outgoing Email Queue (Optional) If you decide to re-enable your outgoing mail later on, you’ll want to make sure that any residual notifications don't get sent out unexpectedly. Here’s how to handle that: Access the Outgoing Email Queue: Log in to Odoo as a “Super User.” Navigate to the outbound email queue. Delete Unwanted Notifications: Check for any outgoing notifications that might still be queued. Manage them by deleting any messages that you do not wish to send. Troubleshooting Tips If you are still receiving email notifications after making these changes, double-check your mail server settings to ensure they are configured correctly. Ensure that your localhost server is indeed selected as the primary outgoing mail server. Conclusion Disabling mailing notifications in Odoo.sh is a simple yet effective way to manage user experience during project setups. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can create user accounts without the worry of automatic email notifications. Remember to keep track of your email queue if you decide to enable notifications later, to avoid sending out unwanted messages. With this knowledge, you can proceed with your Odoo project confidently, focusing on what truly matters — your application’s functionality!
