Email address of the sender: Valid email, which is used to send out the mails.
Name of the sender: Name of the sender, which is displayed in the mail
Debug mode (will send all invitations to the configured test mail, but creates only dummy tokens): Enables the debug mode
Debug test e-mail: Mail which is used in debug mode.

When you are ready, please choose “save and close” to proceed.

If you want to edit an existing configuration (and you are member of the administration group), you can use the tool icon to edit the configuration.
