+### `email`
+
+Configuration for sending emails from Synapse.
+
+Server admins can configure custom templates for email content. See
+[here](../../templates.md) for more information.
+
+This setting has the following sub-options:
+* `smtp_host`: The hostname of the outgoing SMTP server to use. Defaults to 'localhost'.
+* `smtp_port`: The port on the mail server for outgoing SMTP. Defaults to 465 if `force_tls` is true, else 25.
+
+  _Changed in Synapse 1.64.0:_ the default port is now aware of `force_tls`.
+* `smtp_user` and `smtp_pass`: Username/password for authentication to the SMTP server. By default, no
+   authentication is attempted.
+* `force_tls`: By default, Synapse connects over plain text and then optionally upgrades
+   to TLS via STARTTLS. If this option is set to true, TLS is used from the start (Implicit TLS),
+   and the option `require_transport_security` is ignored.
+   It is recommended to enable this if supported by your mail server.
+
+  _New in Synapse 1.64.0._
+* `require_transport_security`: Set to true to require TLS transport security for SMTP.
+   By default, Synapse will connect over plain text, and will then switch to
+   TLS via STARTTLS *if the SMTP server supports it*. If this option is set,
+   Synapse will refuse to connect unless the server supports STARTTLS.
+* `enable_tls`: By default, if the server supports TLS, it will be used, and the server
+   must present a certificate that is valid for 'smtp_host'. If this option
+   is set to false, TLS will not be used.
+* `notif_from`: defines the "From" address to use when sending emails.
+    It must be set if email sending is enabled. The placeholder '%(app)s' will be replaced by the application name,
+    which is normally set in `app_name`, but may be overridden by the
+    Matrix client application. Note that the placeholder must be written '%(app)s', including the
+    trailing 's'.
+* `app_name`: `app_name` defines the default value for '%(app)s' in `notif_from` and email
+   subjects. It defaults to 'Matrix'.
+* `enable_notifs`: Set to true to enable sending emails for messages that the user
+   has missed. Disabled by default.
+* `notif_for_new_users`: Set to false to disable automatic subscription to email
+   notifications for new users. Enabled by default.
+* `client_base_url`: Custom URL for client links within the email notifications. By default
+   links will be based on "https://matrix.to". (This setting used to be called `riot_base_url`;
+   the old name is still supported for backwards-compatibility but is now deprecated.)
+* `validation_token_lifetime`: Configures the time that a validation email will expire after sending.
+   Defaults to 1h.
+* `invite_client_location`: The web client location to direct users to during an invite. This is passed
+   to the identity server as the `org.matrix.web_client_location` key. Defaults
+   to unset, giving no guidance to the identity server.
+* `subjects`: Subjects to use when sending emails from Synapse. The placeholder '%(app)s' will
+   be replaced with the value of the `app_name` setting, or by a value dictated by the Matrix client application.
+   In addition, each subject can use the following placeholders: '%(person)s', which will be replaced by the displayname
+   of the user(s) that sent the message(s), e.g. "Alice and Bob", and '%(room)s', which will be replaced by the name of the room the
+   message(s) have been sent to, e.g. "My super room". In addition, emails related to account administration will
+   can use the '%(server_name)s' placeholder, which will be replaced by the value of the
+   `server_name` setting in your Synapse configuration.
+
+   Here is a list of subjects for notification emails that can be set:
+     * `message_from_person_in_room`: Subject to use to notify about one message from one or more user(s) in a
+        room which has a name. Defaults to "[%(app)s] You have a message on %(app)s from %(person)s in the %(room)s room..."
+     * `message_from_person`: Subject to use to notify about one message from one or more user(s) in a
+        room which doesn't have a name. Defaults to "[%(app)s] You have a message on %(app)s from %(person)s..."
+     * `messages_from_person`: Subject to use to notify about multiple messages from one or more users in
+        a room which doesn't have a name. Defaults to "[%(app)s] You have messages on %(app)s from %(person)s..."
+     * `messages_in_room`: Subject to use to notify about multiple messages in a room which has a
+        name. Defaults to "[%(app)s] You have messages on %(app)s in the %(room)s room..."
+     * `messages_in_room_and_others`: Subject to use to notify about multiple messages in multiple rooms.
+        Defaults to "[%(app)s] You have messages on %(app)s in the %(room)s room and others..."
+     * `messages_from_person_and_others`: Subject to use to notify about multiple messages from multiple persons in
+        multiple rooms. This is similar to the setting above except it's used when
+        the room in which the notification was triggered has no name. Defaults to
+        "[%(app)s] You have messages on %(app)s from %(person)s and others..."
+     * `invite_from_person_to_room`: Subject to use to notify about an invite to a room which has a name.
+        Defaults to  "[%(app)s] %(person)s has invited you to join the %(room)s room on %(app)s..."
+     * `invite_from_person`: Subject to use to notify about an invite to a room which doesn't have a
+        name. Defaults to "[%(app)s] %(person)s has invited you to chat on %(app)s..."
+     * `password_reset`: Subject to use when sending a password reset email. Defaults to "[%(server_name)s] Password reset"
+     * `email_validation`: Subject to use when sending a verification email to assert an address's
+        ownership. Defaults to "[%(server_name)s] Validate your email"
+
+Example configuration:
+
+```yaml
+email:
+  smtp_host: mail.server

+  smtp_user: "exampleusername"
+  smtp_pass: "examplepassword"
