# Mail Server Configuration

<Callout icon="📘" theme="info">
  **Note**

  Configuring a mail server is only available in Self-Managed environments.

  Cloud environments use a predefined mail server and do not have this option. Hence, this setting will not be available in the Web UI.

You can send email notifications to admins and other users about significant events in your system.

For example, here are some of the events:

* Watch notifications
* Alerts for backup warnings and errors
* License violation notifications
* Project storage quota notifications

To enable email notifications, in the Administration module, go to **General Management | Mail Server**.
