So a quick heads up to anyone struggling getting SMTP to work, or those who had it working. They moved it over to the UI. The neat thing is, if you already had it the thing just grabs everything automatically and moves it to the UI. You will get an error on the setting page and it will let you know to remove the SMTP bit from the config then restart.
"The SMTP YAML configuration is being removed Warning · Reported by Home Assistant Core Integration This stops working in version 2027.1.0. Please address before upgrading. Configuring SMTP using YAML is being removed. Your existing YAML configuration has been imported into the UI automatically. Remove the smtp configuration from your configuration.yaml file and restart Home Assistant to fix this issue."
I just did this, and tested the SMTP and it works fine.
SMTP now shows up under the device list or you can add it from that. Looking at it, if you add it from that the thing looks straight forward.
If any of the devs that works on this see this or those who approved it. THANK YOU.
A few months back I did request this, and I'm sure anyone setting it up now will have a far easier time. Again, thanks.
