In this example, we'll use the Gmail address `gitlab-replies@gmail.com`. In this example, we'll use the Gmail address `gitlab-replies@gmail.com`.
### Omnibus package installations
1. Find the `reply_by_email` section in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`, enable the feature, enter the email address including a placeholder for the `reply_key` and fill in the details for your specific IMAP server and email account:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['reply_by_email_enabled'] = true
gitlab_rails['reply_by_email_address'] = "gitlab-replies+%{reply_key}@gmail.com"
gitlab_rails['reply_by_email_host'] = "imap.gmail.com" # IMAP server host
gitlab_rails['reply_by_email_port'] = 993 # IMAP server port
gitlab_rails['reply_by_email_ssl'] = true # Whether the IMAP server uses SSL
gitlab_rails['reply_by_email_email'] = "gitlab-replies@gmail.com" # Email account username. Usually the full email address.
gitlab_rails['reply_by_email_password'] = "password" # Email account password
gitlab_rails['reply_by_email_mailbox_name'] = "inbox" # The name of the mailbox where incoming mail will end up. Usually "inbox".
```
As mentioned, the part after `+` in the address is ignored, and any email sent here will end up in the mailbox for `gitlab-replies@gmail.com`.
1. Reconfigure GitLab for the changes to take effect:
```sh
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
```
1. Verify that everything is configured correctly:
```sh
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:reply_by_email:check
```
