Suggestion: Add SMTP settings configuration in the web interface (back office)

Feature Requests
1

Hello,

Thank you for your great work on Kanboard!

I would like to suggest a small but useful improvement: it would be great to have a way to configure SMTP settings directly from the web interface, instead of having to edit the config.php file manually.

Reasons for this suggestion:

It would make SMTP setup easier for non-technical users

It would avoid storing plain text passwords in a file

It would be more flexible for cloud or production environments

It could be secured with access control (e.g. admin-only settings page)

This could work alongside the current config.php system, but having this option in the admin interface would be a big improvement for many users.

Thanks again for considering it!

Then it’s stored in plain text in the database, where the database’s password is stored in plain text in the config.php file. Encryption would be an extra feature, isn’t done yet.

Here I’m in doubt. Your “many users” all have to be admins, and from an admin, I’d expect some technical flair and ability to edit a config file. Just my 2 cent.
