How do I make use of the debug setting, to troubleshoot email config?

[@odooistic]

Go to Settings > General Settings and activate Developer Mode by clicking "Activate the developer mode" (or append ?debug=1 to the URL). Navigate to Settings > Technical > Emails to inspect email statuses (sent, failed, or queued). Look for any error messages that provide clues about misconfigurations. Edit the odoo.conf file and set the logging level to debug:
log_level = debug

My oddo account show that please configure sender's
Email address can you explain me who it's resolved

[@odooistic]

The error message "Please configure sender's email address" in Odoo usually appears when Odoo is unable to send an email because the sender's email address is not properly configured. Here's how you can resolve this issue: Verify the Outgoing Mail Server Configuration
Go to Settings → Technical → Email → Outgoing Mail Servers.
Check if there is an outgoing mail server configured.
Ensure the following details are correct:
SMTP Server: The server address (e.g., smtp.gmail.com for Gmail).
SMTP Port: Commonly 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS).
Username: The email address used for sending emails.
Password: The password for the email account.
Connection Security: Select the appropriate encryption (SSL/TLS or None).
Test the connection to ensure the server is working correctly.
