johnjeffers opened a new issue #16468: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/16468
**Description** The documentation on how to set up STMP is not clear. https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/howto/email-config.html It says to create a connection named `smtp_default` but does not say what type of connection to create. There is no connection type named `SMTP` It was suggested to me in Airflow Slack to create it as an `HTTP` connection, but this connection type does not contain all fields necessary to configure SMTP, particularly with TLS. **Use case / motivation** I would like the instructions for setting up SMTP in Airflow to be clearer, and it would make sense that there is an `SMTP` connection type with all necessary fields. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
