I’d like my app to start sending e-mails to users (such as a password reset e-mail). I’m wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks or a preferred 3rd party e-mail provider that Replit can reliably work with.

I’ve used Google mail because it’s just easy to understand but I’ve used sendgrid
which I think is what the agent would prefer to work with but a little complex than Google mail.
Your pick. Overall I know the agent works well with these two.
mailgun is another alternative to sendgrid

Never used mailgun how good is it and also is it easy to setup
i have used sendgrid in the past but a long time ago, can’t remember much of it.
mailgun took a bit of time to setup, mostly DNS config and ensuring the secrets are set correctly. but once it works, it works!
their support is quite responsive which is nice.
It seems that Replit officially supports Sendgrid.
I was able to send the Resend API with no problems.
However, if you want to use it as part of an authentication function such as password initialization, the authentication service has an e-mail reissue function.
Authentication services here are Firebase, Auth0, etc.
In other words, by implementing the authentication function of Firabase or Auth0, you can automatically use the password re-issue email function as well.

I’m using send grid on my app for all the system emails, I setup my actual company email for smtp to host on my site ground server. No issues so far all the reset and account emails come through send grid on my domain and everything else works too.
