Setting up an email server directly within a locally hosted Odoo Community Edition instance isn't recommended due to security and maintenance complexities. Odoo is designed to integrate with existing email services.

  Instead of setting up a full email server, configure Odoo to use an external SMTP server. This is a much simpler and more secure approach.

  Go to Odoo's settings (usually under "Settings" or a similar menu).

  Find the "Email" configuration section. You'll need to specify your SMTP server's hostname, port, and your email credentials (username and password). Common providers include Gmail, Outlook, or your hosting provider's SMTP service.

  Test your email configuration to ensure Odoo can send and receive emails successfully. Check your Odoo logs for any errors.
