E-mail sender configuration

Problems often arise with the e-mail configuration of Shopware 6. In principle, a distinction is made between two different sender e-mail addresses in e-mail traffic:

type explanation
Envelope e-mail address Technical e-mail address, for the actual dispatch
Header e-mail address Sender e-mail address displayed in the e-mail program



Configuration of the envelope e-mail address

The configuration of the envelope e-mail address is configured in Shopware via Settings → Shop → Master data.



In the "Shop operator e-mail address" field, enter the technical sender address that you would like to use for sending e-mails. Then save the changes using the Save button.



Configuration of the header e-mail address

The configuration of the header e-mail address is configured in Shopware via Settings → System → Mailer. In addition to the basic SMTP server configuration, you can also enter the Sender address here.



Please note that the sender address is displayed in your customers' e-mail programs. The e-mail address should therefore be able to receive e-mails if one of your customers clicks on the "Reply" function.
